The saddest part to me is that someone has to be driving the bus as people cannot police themselves.
It reminds me of the first time I started a baseball league using APBA cards. I came up with a simple list of rules, and two of the guys in the leagues shocked me (I never expected it as I was new to participating in these leagues) how they would find the grey area between the lines and do things that went against the concept of what APBA had intended. So I would add a rule to prohibit something and they would do something else. I asked them to follow the "spirit" of the law rather than the actual rules, but that did not stop them. I then prematurely disbanded the league rather than continue having a shambles made of things. Is it any wonder that we have to have rules on aircraft saying "tamper with, disable, or destroy any smoke detector installed in any airplane lavatory" rather than "don't mess with it" since someone might argue they tampered but did not disable or mess with it???
