Jerry Seinfeld was talking to Norm MacDonald about working clean. They preferred it because it was harder.
South Park creators said they stopped goofing on the President because everyone was doing it - it was too easy.
I guess laws would be formalized standards (enhanced by the threat of punishment for infraction.)
A healthy people doesn’t need too many of these. They sense the value of standards and comply voluntarily. And they welcome the “shock of the new” in healthy proportion.
