Bob,
Your comments are clearly from the head and the heart and it takes a good mind and a worthy soul to do that.
Thank you.
In reading your words, I am further convinced that the situation at hand illuminates that the rules prescribe inputs ("activities"), rather than outcomes ("results"). What the community at large wants is a desirable outcome. What they get is a regulation that establishes prescribed inputs which are intended to yield a sought-after outcome. Then, when a good outcome happens despite non-conformance with the rules, conflict arises.
While rules cannot be ignored, neither can results. The actual results (positive or negative) is what matters most.
