Problem with regulations are, they are always chasing a problem with 20/20 hindsight, rarely having foresight and usually crating unforeseen negative consequences once they are implemented.
Solutions usually do follow problems, and so on....
Or to put a "Christian" swing on it, God didn't write the BIG TEN BEFORE THERE WAS MURDER, THEFT, AND SCREWING AROUND, now did he? Nope, nope, nope, that set of regulations came AFTER all that stuff got to be a major problem, along with the move from single focus adulation to O - M - G "idol worship!"
Actually, I think 'twas Hammurabi set down the first set of rules, but the reasons were the same, and having written rules saved a lot of time and effort, along with all those audience days when he had to sit for hours, and hours, and hours, and hours EXPLAINING that this or that was a bad thing and if they didn't cut it out he was gonna kill 'em!
