My favorite statement along these lines comes from the Champ Car Stars of
Tomorrow rules primer at
http://www.cartstars.com/docs/rulesprimer030120.pdf:
"It is not the intent for Stars to have regulations and policies that
strive to make everyone happy. Rather, we wish to provide reasonable,
tested rules and regulations in accordance with our mission and to execute
these rules faithfully over the long term. We welcome reasonable,
constructive feedback to this end."
Yes, I read other people's rulebooks too.
