the thing about an explicit rule is, regardless of where it came from or who's power it reinforces, you know what you get up front and someone violating their own explicit rules reveals themselves as a hypocrite (or tyrant) and suffers an appropriate loss of credibility.

Sure, my point here was inspired by Trump's WH saying it's going to put out new rules for press briefings since their informal idea of "decorum" was violated by inconveniently hostile reporters like Acosta. Hypocrisy is that Trump routinely behaves 10x worse in decorous settings
