I'm not entirely certain that I wouldn't be better off if there weren't a lot more people slavishly obeying things like the rules PBP.

Trouble is, there are an awful lot of people that like you, feel that they know enough to impose their judgements upon those mythical others.

Whilst I do not doubt that you have both the knowledge and experience to back up your judgement, there is a rather large chunk of the world that thinks they have [the] good judgement [to so impose] when they manifestly do not.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    Beyond encouraging people to read PBP, and discussing some of the issues, I've not imposed my judgements on anybody.

    I'm not entirely certain that I wouldn't be better off being Dictator For Life... I'm not suggesting that I impose this on anybody though :-)
