    Almost all safety minded rules, especially in something like the nuclear industry, are really easy to explain. Even “it’s arbitrary, but something has to be the norm so we’re all doing things the same way” is an acceptable explanation. I’m not gonna start driving on the wrong side of the road to prove an intellectual point.

    When working in certain fields, norms can be very useful so that way everyone is on the same page. This is not some inexplicable or unjustifiable reason. I’m not a contrarian, I’m someone who refuses to put up with the customs that actually do hold us back.
