if the rules said that pilots had to wiggle their wings three times and
toss a carrot out the window before gaining admittance to the zone, not doing
so would be an "equally" big mistake. For the same inane reason.

You bad! I durn near snorted tea all over my laptop at this.

Imagine the radio transmissions:
"Potomac approach, Cessna 12345 over XXX for Leesburg, with
carrot and wiggling!"

Not preflighting can get you killed due to the laws of physics. Not getting
dressed (at least on a nice day) has no consequences other than the arbitrary
and artificial ones society imposes.
