I'm just wondering, do the rules come with a complimentary straightjacket? Because that's what it sounds like to me.

I think E is also a downside. Who's going to be the 'objective' enforcer, and how do we know they're really impartial? Sounds like a recipe for more problems.

I'm not sure I buy the 'expensive' part in A, but the other two are spot on. Rules-based ethics can become a bit of a legal minefield.

A, C, and F seem like the biggest issues to me. Rules-based approaches can get bogged down in technicalities and end up being more about compliance than actual ethics.
