Perhaps they only need make an example of a few, and thus introduce an
element of fear for everyone else.
Not "a few," but rather quite a lot, albeit only infrequently, and at
unpredictable intervals, with a very high inclusion/exclusion error
rate -- an artifact of the absence clear and easily demonstrable line
between compliance/non-compliance (which is itself an artifact of the
内部 [internally published only] nature of many of the related rules).
