How are people supposed to understand these hard to follow and shifting rules?
- Kim_Bruning 2y agoThe base rules are actually not very complicated. But any time you try to write them down, people will come along and interpret them to their own advantage, sometimes outright in the opposite direction. That's a people problem, to some extent, not purely a Wikipedia problem. (BRD is my favorite pet-peeve)

I think this a feature/bug of a (litigious) society that works on the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law.
