The benefits of any given piece of doctrine must clearly outweigh the effort required to write, teach, and enforce it.
This threshold is significantly higher when:
- Replacing Existing Doctrine: Changing established procedures is more burdensome as members must unlearn old habits and adopt new ones, especially when the existing doctrine is deeply ingrained.
- Impacting the Majority: Broad, unit-wide changes receive greater scrutiny than those affecting small, specialised groups due to the interconnected nature of our doctrine and the potential impact on other areas.
Addition of new unit wide guiding philosophies.
