Re: Limitations too far?
One of my favorite episodes of tv of all time: Naruto epsiode 24.
There is a test. The test is very hard. Too hard. But they aren't being tested on the material of the test, they are tested on their ability to acquire the answers.(Yes, cheat). However, the room is full of ninja that are watching them. If you get caught, you fail. The point is that only an excellent ninja would be able to cheat in such a situation.
Just as only an excellent engineer can thrive in this situation. They burden us down with limitations to inspire creativity. Not to stifle it. Some of the rules will ruin some of the more colorful ideas but that just requires us to come up with yet another design. The only rule I could see that would take away from creativity is one that makes the work easier.
