I'm not saying everything has to be "penalized...no matter how technical it is." I'm saying that a person needs to include in their judgment, not only how the situation feels at a certain moment, but also the larger context of the association, and their general way of handling things, and the state variations and so on and so forth. Around here this particular rule is enforced a certain way. I need to take that into account when I decide what to enforce and what not to.
I'm saying my personal "common sense" isn't the only factor that should weigh into a situation, and in fact that it sometimes shouldn't weigh in at all. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with my common sense, just that it's not always the best "guideline" for how to handle a certain situation.

Unless there is a specific directive from an assignor or evaluator, I am not going to enforce the rule based on what we have been talking about. I think that is being overly officious and not using very good common sense. I think common sense has to be used because it is clear to me that was not the purpose of the rule. Now that is my opinion and I am sticking to it.
