This is why often when setting guidelines around particular behavior, standards that require some judgement may be better than rules that are to be followed blindly without any discretion.

Compare the rules around speed limits, don’t drive above 70mph (no judgement, could be too slow or too quick in a given situation) vs the one often observed and followed in reality, drive at a reasonable speed, roughly what others are driving at (use your judgement about what’s safe).
