I’m not saying there isn’t consistency, but when you express these reservations it’s like you are specifically calling out opportunities for inconsistency which I think is undesirable. It shouldn’t be JC’s rules and Tom’s rules, but rather, GD rules.

This is why I only read or post in GD like once every other year.
