A lot of things have entirely historic reasons, that don’t apply anymore.
- mellavora 6y agoif you can enumerate these reasons and demonstrate that they don't apply any more, then you are in a good position to change the thing. If you don't know what these reasons are, it is hard to know with certainty that they no longer apply. see above reference to Chesterton's fence.
