It's a Rule

It's a rule, so it's right, right?
No, it's a rule, doesn't mean it's right,
If it's a rule, it could be a wrong,
I wonder for how long,
Some rules are wrong,
If it's a rule, it might be good, 
Do rules mean what they should?
It's a rule, so it's right, right?
No, if it's a rule, doesn't mean it's right.

Julie, you are right - kind of. Determine the logic behind the rule as it came up for a reason (maybe many years ago), and decide if it still is valid. Having said that, question everything to see if the point is still appropriate, John.
