But what about professional? If you're going to be professional, isn't following the rules part of that?

Yes, we should all follow the rules and 1277 did not. But if I'm not mistaken, they did not realize they were breaking any rules at the time. No one is saying that we should ignore the rules because we don't like them. We should, however, forgive mistakes. Besides, trying to enforce the rules now is pointless.
