Whether we think the rules make sense, or whether we like them, is
irrelevant.

THAT kind of thinking will lead to ANY opinion you have, or I have, of any
law or regulation being irrelevant.

You need to stay in context. My point is that, for the purpose of
understanding how the rules are interpreted and enforced (which is the point
here), what you think of the rules makes no difference.

Don't like the rules? Sure, it makes sense to work to change them. But
until you DO change them, you still need to understand how they are
currently interpreted and enforced. You ignore them at your own peril, and
no amount of opinionating regarding the rules will save you.
