Before Removing a Rule, Understand Why It Was Created

Chesterton's fence: if you see a fence across a road and don't know why it's there, don't tear it down. First understand its purpose — it may be protecting something you can't see. Rules, traditions, and processes that seem pointless often exist because someone learned a painful lesson. The cost of removing a safeguard you don't understand can be far greater than the inconvenience of keeping it.
The point
Understand a rule's purpose before you decide it's unnecessary.
