- Macha 5y agoI think these can actually mean the same thing here, it depends if the thing you're passing judgement on is interpreted to be the requirements, or the act of lowering the requirements. You should worry about the requirements because they're bad and need fixing. You shouldn't worry about the consequences of lowering the requirements because you weren't enforcing them anyway.
