Go ahead, then.  Just shatter my delusions about you. :)

Seriously, the existence of one rule that says things can be done one way doesn't preclude the existence of another rule that says the same things can be done another way.  Interesting example you gave with the weather gnome...If the weather rule exclusively regulated weather updates, the weather gnome wouldn't work either.  The purpose of regulating an action is so that someone doesn't come up with some totally arbitrary action that doesn't agree with the rules.  Rules don't go against an event's regulation...they ARE an event's regulation, even if cumulatively.
