If you make a tradition a rule, it is no longer seen as a tradition
If we want to go down the road of adding more rule this this one (which I am going to argue is a little petty), then all we do is add more red tape from things that are more or less common sense.
As has been proven time and time again in this forum, and you will learn repeatedly as you progress through life Gimil, is that what is common sense to one person may not necessarily be common sense to another...everyone is different in their interpretation of issues. That is why we have a legal system. To make rules that everyone has to/can follow, so there is little room for interpretation on some issues
