I agree with a lot that you say and certainly the general tone but i disagree in your stating that it is a rigid system.
The goalposts appear to move constantly. no thought appears to be given to the impact on rule changes.
The consstant tinkering or appearance of tinkering makes it difficlult for many to plan ahead.
Those wishing to follow the rules think twice and strongly consider alternatives.
