thats what drives the need for golden rules, and thats why they are instituted very carefully (and thats why they are golden). When the situation comes up, there it is!
It has amazed me that engineers from all over the world somehow know the golden rules that apply to their profession, and they are not afraid to point out to you (during a design review) that 'this is a problem, you should never do this'. Seriously, I though Dr Eric Schmidt at Suny Buffalo came up with "Dr Schmidts Golden rules of digital design", because he shared them with us as if they were his own children, in a hushed tone, almost as if they were sacred.
but somehow, everyone seems to know them :^)
There will always be a point in your FIRST experience when you realize you can get away with something that is against the rules. It is at that point when you have a choice to make about your own personal ethics, and what sort of example you will set for your students. - ToddF [more]
