Couture And Sweatpants

The choice, then, is not between thick and thin rules: we need both the resilience of thick rules and the predictability of thin ones. The challenge is to map out the territories where each works best, identifying patches of high and low variability, and designing rules accordingly. Where stability and reliability reign, rules can be as thin and unforgiving as a designer dress; where there is considerable fluctuation and variability, thick rules build in room for discretion, like elasticised sweatpants.
