Ok, just when I felt "complete" and began tackling other things, I started making myself paranoid over having unintentionally used only cultural examples in my last post (to illustrate the occasional rules or customs that we don't have to fully understand, just have to respect and comply with if we're gonna choose to be there).
Maybe I'm being silly but for the sake of caution, please allow me to add that I should have included other examples of the many situations wherein we comply happily with a rule we wouldn't necessarily have implemented ourselves if it had been up to us. Such as any mandates or requests we observe in so many places as we go through daily life, in airports or places of business or shopping malls or friend's homes, etc. etc.
Things designed to avert what wouldn't be all that unheard of to happen otherwise; and that have happened before in similar situations. Or, designed to enrich and improve an experience, in the opinion of the persons(s) in charge.
In other words, technical requirements that aren't judgment calls in any way, was what I meant to demonstrate -- mostly to myself, as the light was coming on. :- )
