I think the normal people have it basically right, and the people who aren’t normal are being scared of ghosts
I think both sides are missing a VERY important element. No society or decision process is purely driven by rules. There are all sorts of incentives and societal consequences to legal-but-unpleasant behaviors. Human judgement fills in most of the gaps.
You only make more rules when there’s some reason that natural coordination (aka: bullying) isn’t doing the job. And the non-normal people are right to point out that this is underspecified and probably fragile in many edge-cases. And the normals are right that it’s mostly worked so far.
