But I thought that was the way you were supposed to do it - edit
policy/guidelines before you get into an argument, and then you're always
right, since we must blindly follow policy and guidelines.  After all, isn't
the rule "whoever breaks the rules first wins" since after that everyone
else is edit warring or wheel warring (unlike the first person to act, who
is BE BOLDing)
