A lot of communities will simply resent having a policy imposed upon them when they feel they could not participate adequately in the decision, even when a dispassionate look at the policy might produce different results. If you then tell them that they are responding irrationally the natural tendency is for them to dig in their heels. I strongly agree with your last point. Systematic interpretation makes the place look like a police state, and leaves no room for good-faith innovation that does not fit in with the often monomanic police attitude toward rules.
