Enter The Thin Rules

Thin rules are transparent, clear-cut, unelaborated. In contrast to the woolly thick rules, thin rules are shorn of all mention of examples, exceptions and experience. They do not anticipate the unforeseen. Nor do they allow any latitude for discretion; indeed, they are often expressly designed to minimise discretion: for example, the rules that dictate stopping at a red light, or paying for an item in a store before pocketing it, or limiting the amount of carry-on luggage for airplane passengers.
