c'mon Ken.....when does anything have to make sense for it to be applied?
If we did things (politically) that made sense we would be out of the EU by now......villains would be locked up and the key thrown away, the bus station would not be scheduled to be at the bottom end of the town.....and lots of other things would be implemented, just because they made sense.

No, I'm afraid that sense(common or otherwise) is a rare commodity...maybe even extinct.
