  > Can an ambulance enter the park to save someone in a life threatening emergency? But that is not what the question asks. Of course we should let an ambulance enter. Especially if they are there to save someone’s life. They violate the rule, but we ignore the rule for this specific case. The text of the quiz explicitly asks for this: “ You might know of some rule in your jurisdiction which overrides local rules, and allows certain classes of vehicles. Please disregard these rules;” And “Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed).” Simply many people are realy bad at this type of thinking. They know what they think the answer should be, and they answer accordingly, instead of answering as requested a much more contrived and technical question.

    Fewer and fewer rules have discretion. Automated cameras, LLMs, plea deals, minimum mandatory sentences, zero tolerance in schools. Relying on people to do the right thing fails. American government got two good centuries out of "assuming good intent" before the lack of written rules was weaponized. In a perfect world we wouldn't need an explicit code of conduct for supreme court justices, but we are not in a perfect world.

    It's not that we are bad at this type of thinking-- but who cares? There will always be weird scenarios and odd things-- when I played the game I was like "Is anyone dying here?' Aside from the Ambulance thing-- no. It's just a park. So let's relax. Content moderation is also totally imprecise with edge cases. Most likely no one dies from it well or badly applied.

  Usually these things are applied with discretion, even if not literally allowed by a sign.
