I think it's a bit like people driving on the correct side of the road.
On little dirt roads, who cares?  You drive to avoid the pot-holes and
low branches.  But to someone who is used to fast highways, seeing
someone drive on the wrong side of the road is (rightly) horrifying....

(This is not a crazy metaphor -- it's an example of the
context-dependent importance of adhering to standards, written and
unwritten.)
