Weakly disagree. It would be good if norms were predictable, but they won’t be; humans aren’t self-legible enough to set norms explicitly clearly enough to make it happen. You have to cut away some of the norms, and not enforce them, to get predictability, I think.
“Norms should be predictable” is another way of saying this. In general, making reality predictable is useful.
