The world depends on all the dumb little rules someone put in place for dumb little reasons not being adequately enforced. Imagine automatically getting a speeding ticket every single time you went over the speed limit by one mile an hour. Take a moment and mentally inventory all the code violations in your house right now. Look hard enough and everybody is breaking the rules every day, but we muddle through because it doesn't matter 99% of the time. If all these rules were actually enforced — let's even assume impartially and perfectly — we would be overwhelmed by them. Maybe the consequence would be that we would refine some of the dumb little rules, and remove others. But maybe we would just be overwhelmed.
