Inexpensive intelligent technology has greatly increased the attitude that building systems of rules and even automated tools to filter out inconsistencies in style, fashion, expression - are a means to stability.

An “Alternate Reality” can be created just by introducing a tool into a process that enforces a standard. The tool does the gate-keeping and people trying to participate in a earnest fashion can become frustrated, run-off, by just having a certain enforcement standard and process in place.

Many times tools of enforcing standards can be blamed by people instead of the overall management / organization leadership being held accountable for excluding participation or making things so difficult that problems are not solved in a timely fashion. In some cases, it can even approach as a screening mechanism to filter out unwanted persons - in the name of standardization.
