Wrote a piece this week with a closing line about how the rules need to be "translatable."

Diplomatic. Got me onto someone's intranet share.

The honest version: most enterprise rules are written by people who haven't had to follow them in months. The translation problem is downstream of that. The architecture problem is downstream of that.

I'm not sure I'll publish the honest version. Doesn't repost well.
