That was the intention behind precedence. "once a wise judge has figured something out and promulgated it, we will all respect that ruling so everyone is on the same page all the time." The principle is fundamentally unenforceable though, so it can't survive the first narcissist who gets the bright idea "but if I reinvent the wheel to my liking, all those precedence cucks will have to use it 😏" . The people still trying to preserve the precedence principle end up being the enforcers for the radicals corrupting it. The progressive ratchet in microcosm.
