Embed Notice

"Chesterton's Fence" - a thought experiment from the novelist GK Chesterton - is instructive here:

> There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away."
