I think you miss the point that Duncan wants to train the ability to be out-of-comfort zone by following through on goals that are set.
A norm being very annoying wouldn’t be a reason to drop it before the scheduled vote. The norm would have to actually create substantial harm.
I read that “this is causing substantial harm” would be insufficient to cancel a norm, but expect that “this is creating a physical hazard” would be enough to reject the norm mid-cycle. The problem is that every edge has edge cases, and if there’s a false negative in a mideterm evaluation of danger...
Maybe I’m concluding that the paramilitary aesthetic will be more /thing/ than others are. In my observation authoritarian paramilitary styled groups are much more /thing/ than other people expect them to be. (My own expectations, OTOH are expected to be accurate because subjectivity.
Duncan’s rule one is “A Dragon will protect itself”.
I don’t think whether something is physical would be the prime distinction but whether the harm is substantial. If following a norm would likely result in someone losing his job, that isn’t physical harm but substantial harm that likely warrants violating the norm.
