I agree with the rule more as an "observation" in a general term, although I 
work with many exceptions. We work hard and put the time, effort, and money 
to learn our skills. Some of us sacrifice financial security to seek better 
puppetry experiences and create our own shows.

Unreasonnable, but necessary.
