The Dino Price Commentaries
Compliance rules and statutes written by legislature are often incredibly vast and broad, leaving interpretation to the eye of the beholder which usually produces absurd results. Actions taken to blindly enforce these rules may have negative unintended consequences. Over-enforcement can distort the importance of additional factors, neglecting the impact of professional competition and other sources of potential bias. create new legal loopholes, neglect of moral considerations, all which undermine the rule’s effectiveness. Changes in legislation and their enforcement can sometimes cause legal uncertainty and incoherence.
Ordinary people must negotiate these rules and regulations and if they find them to be too hard or cumbersome, they may make their own path. Laws and rules must be created and interpreted with a heavy dose of reality and rational thought. Effort will find the path of least resistance.
