The "What the!?!?!" Rule Thread

I guess what I am trying to say is that GP is inside all of us just waiting for a chance to escape. I am sure how the virus spread. I put the blame solely on the shoulders of Chief Delphi. - Ken Loyd [more]

I'd imagine it s for safety reasons because I always foresaw an issue with a solenoid over heating and burning a person who did not know it was hot.

This rule has existed since at least 2004 (though I would guess it's been around forever). I think it's probably more of an issue for maintaining equal maximum power between teams, rather than a safety issue.
