Actually the PERL documentation claims that there are psychological studies that show that prohibitions stick better than instruction on correct behavior. > Instead model correct behavior. The problem with this approach is that we do not know what those are, only what has been broken. Our new designs will change based on what we learn, but what has been broken will not. Whether such instruction is appropriate for RFC or not is a valid question. > You will > not be able to list all the ways someone can make a mistake, but you > can explain a way to do things right.
