Usually corporations accept rules, mandatory for all employee.
How Bob give freedom to litter ?

My idea was opposite: consecutively following by graceful math
constructions is uncomfortably for manual writing.
So other criterias, instead of math harmony, are needed for
hand-coding.
After some border, following by a rule becomes harmful.

After some border, following by a rule turns into own opposition.
