I'm asking — do you think there are no cases where "blockchain rules should be broken"?
It should be a very expensive thing to do, e.g. require a traditional lawsuit.

Agreed — and I think that the general unpleasantness of lawsuits is probably the right analogy for the (desirable) political, social, and technological messiness for a hard fork.
-
But that still leaves open the question of what criteria the community should use to even begin considering such a fork. Even what you just said there is more of a concession than what most immutabalists are willing to give (see this thread, for example)
-
If we all (subconsciously?) assume that situations that merit forking is a "we'll all know it and agree that's it's bad enough when we see it" sort of situation, I suspect we're in for a rude awakening when push comes to shove.
-
Better for the community to have the discussions/debate now thanget blindsided when the inevitable sticky situation happens
