That's a good way to phrase it. Thanks. The problem I find is that the
"loosening of guidelines" folks seem to have a simultaneous, invested interest, in earning more rep, and more rep, and see guidelines as an impediment to that overriding goal. But they know better than to say so, and so we see the Theo's and defenders of PSQ. Any confident mathematician can earn rep by filtering out PSQs and answering sincere questions; but those who can't earn rep without going after the low hanging fruit, we'd be better off without them.
