a high level of social control is customary because i live in the world as it is now. but that is NOT the world i desire to live in.
the way things work now, social control is implicit and heavily enforced. by making it explicit, you can reduce the extent to which it's enforced - and by speaking in formal languages, you can show that anyone who makes a claim gets credit for being right, regardless of their station in life or how big their audience is.
