something a little bit interesting about how conventions arise. Sometimes they actually create the rules; other times they attempt to capture rules already implicitly in place. Some feel weirdly in-between. But adhering too strongly to one’s systematisation of a norm can be a mistake — sometimes what look like surprising or counterintuitive results actually just show that one just didn’t systematise things right in the first case.
