Rules may be simple, but adherence to them is not. For some, it may be impossible. Consider the first 2 rules of dating:

    1. Be attractive
    2. Don't be unattractive
The rule for winning is simply to score more points than the other team. Immortality is governed by the simple rule: Stay alive

None of these are simple processes, and it diminishes the discourse to treat them as such. I am thankful for your counterexample to my challenge, but I'm not convinced that, if asked sincerely about how you have managed your recovery from addiction, you could possibly sincerely respond: I simply grew out of it.
