If this rule for some reason doesn't apply, then you still have a specification of Chutzpah within the rule, which falls under Rule 33: "If the Chutzpah of a rule is not otherwise indicated, its Chutzpah is assumed to be 1." Well, it's otherwise indicated.  Which is as valid an argument as many you've made of late, buddy.

Or an automailer.  Though I do remember you being assigned to my "everything is gone" CFI and...cringing.

The problem is, if someone specialized in a rule, and another, far more obscure rule came up that conflicted with it, is e responsible for that too?

Perhaps a different sort of redo is needed, which might solve the less-is-more problem too: Major Topics.  Perhaps all rules need to fall under some Major Topic or other, Major Topics have to be explicitly created before rules can be added to them, and a rule flat-out can't be added unless it's given a Major Topic to fall under.

Not sure what to do about "crossover" -- rules in one topic that affect things in another -- except perhaps that unless that affect is clearly stated as affecting that other topic, or that thing in that other topic, that affect doesn't exist.
