Yet another Chesterton’s Fence torn down without regard
- mcphage 6y agoI don't see any indication that they took this step lightly. Chesterton's Fence teaches that, if you don't know why it's there, don't remove it. It doesn't mean to never remove the fence. If you understand what purpose it served, and the reason to remove it is more important than the reason it was there, then removing it is the right thing to do.
