Yes, that's true. But hey, if you want to go for hyperbole, so can I.
The people who founded this country were breaking the rules. When
rules are unreasonable, the right thing to do is break them.

After exhausting all over options. I can read the Declaration, too,
but none of those men just decided to break a rule to break a rule.


As a CFI (ASMEL, IA, G), ATP, and A&P - I think you're deluded. Rules
don't keep you safe - good decisionmaking keeps you safe. Sometimes
good decisionmaking means ignoring what some bureaucrat decided.

You might be right, but I choose to stay away from pilots who break
rules. I don't need my certificates (yes, I can play the letter game,
too, with ASEL, AMEL, IA, AGI, IGI, and A&P) in jeopardy because
someone decided to play by his own rules.
