Of course, the rules only define the framework of the game! If that results in deadlock, then something needs to be circumvented! I think history has shown us that both well intentioned rule breaking and blind obedience have all caused problems! As far as I understand, you have also made the same point, that both extremes of blind obedience and sheer neglect of rules is not really a great way to live!
Maybe in the end, all kinds of people are dangerous!
