   I don't care how it sounds to you, it is not what I am saying.   
   Take the ten!! commands, it tells you just about everything.   
   Then hand it over to bureaucrats, they add another million   
   contradicting regulations and layers become billionaires   
   by dragging endless disputes for years until their clients are bankrupt.   
   Pretty much the same principle as in F1.   
   Dictating the thickness of valve stems! It cannot become more insane   
   then that.   
   Oh wait, I actually think the elderly rule makers can make it more insane.
