honestly just skimming through MIRSA C 2004

I don't think compliance with such rules really solve things, and in some cases just introduce complexity, e.g there is also rule for never using recursion: Rule 16.2 (required): Functions shall not call themselves, either directly or indirectly

but also, it is easier to judge if a book is good than to write a good book
