We must be reading different threads because no one in here mentioned ignoring rules. There are things I personally find more valuable than arguing with inspectors on practice day, and I'm sure most people hold the same feeling.

Agreed; I don't see what's appearing overly controversial in this thread. Why would anyone ignore the rule or quibble with an RI? (I for one am not looking forward to putting on my yellow hat and discussing R2 at any length. Just put the sign on, I've got more important things on this checklist for both your concern and mine.) This thread has a number of pretty cool elegantly legal designs, some complaints and discussion of potential changes and consequences, and a few people asking for clarification, but I don't recall anyone screaming 'life's not fair' and 'let's fight with inspectors'. If anything, the metadiscussion is about to what degree this an issue that can or should be brought up in official/potentially impactful channels.
