I think Konkvistador’s point was that the disconnect between formal and informal rules meant that some change was going to happen. At that point, I’m not sure that Burkean arguments tells us anything about which way to jump.
But it’s possible that I’m misinterpreting Burkean reasoning, which I’ve always understood as saying “Don’t court change for its own sake.”
