But that is why we are in this place to start with. They have already decided and communicated that, after years of trying to get officials to apply good judgment to these situations, it wasn't working. The level of judgement officials were applying was not good enough. So, they made them absolutes with no judgement required.
It it an absolute or has nothing really changed? Are all of the absolutes really just open to some non-defined level of judgement?
