Always do a sanity check on every rule. Some rules were formed in moments of insanity.
(For instance, we often say "there is always an exception to a rule".
This statement ITSELF is a rule. Which leads to recursion.
We then say: "there is always an exception to "there is always an exception to a rule"".
This can be simplified to a more meaningful form as: "there is NOT always an exception to a rule" - a contradiction to the original rule.)

It is possible to meet the sceptic who believes that everything began in himself. He doubts not the existence of angels or devils, but of men and cows. ... Then when this kindly world all around the man has been blackened out like a lie...then the great individualistic motto shall be written over him in avenging irony. ... [O]ver his cell shall be written, "He believes in himself."
Gilbert K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
