This meta-measure usually arises without the imposition of a "master

I suspect a choice in practice is often between the people that like
theories and the people that don't. Making theories is labor intensive
so the folks that like theories tend get together and debate 'em, write
papers, build tools, etc. The others press +1 on Facebook and act
instinctively or imitate some alpha dog.
OK. But the difference underlying _that_ difference is that
individuals/families don't usually write down the rules. I assert that
the bases for individuals' closing/opening channels is not _rules_,
it's perfectly situational.
Worriers are people that are modeling and in some sense making up rules
-- playing out scenarios, thinking of contingencies, etc. "Rules" can be
a shorthand for thought, rather than just carrying the connotation of
influence and regulation from the outside.
