There are LOTS OF EXAMPLES where things that may work really well at one level just don't fit all that well at other levels, despite a lot of effort trying.

Different skill sets, different abilities, different maturity levels, different objectives sometimes require different rules considerations.
And there are a lot of gratuitous differences that do not need to exist.

I'll acknowledge your side if you acknowledge mine.
