    This is the only reason rules exist, not to stop people doing a thing but to be able to enforce or defect responsibility when they do.

      I mean, generally rules at least are to strongly discourage people from doing a thing, or to lead to things that WOULD prevent people from doing a thing.

      A purely conceptual rule by itself would not magically stop someone from doing a thing, but that’s kind of a weird way to think about it.
