>it also applies to regulations that don't involve risk.
Which are those? Because so far, this conversation has been about TPMS and ABS regulation. I’m beginning to think the discussion is more about dogmatic feelings about regulation than the topic at hand.
Again, your argument is based on following regulations for the sake of regulation and I don’t agree that’s why regulations exist. I believe they exist to mitigate risk. Sometimes they can be poorly executed, and sometimes they can be for a risk you aren’t acutely aware of or one you don’t care about, but that doesn’t mean the risk is non-existent.
Well like I mentioned earlier, there's a regulation that cars have wheels, right? That's not a risk thing.

No, it's just explaining my logic. Using a more abstract example makes it easier to focus on the logic.
> Again, your argument is based on following regulations for the sake of regulation
No it's not.
> and I don’t agree that’s why regulations exist.
I never said that's why regulations exist.
I never said anything about why regulations exist.
I'm so confused.
I'm just talking about whether a certain kind of rule is circular or not...
It's not a very important point, to be fair. But you seem to think I'm making some wildly different points from what I intend, and I'm not sure why there's such a communication breakdown.
