when you get to 85, you can help write the rules as well!

You will never see that as a fundamental rule. It is just a description of the concept of how the rules were designed. And, that is they are there to protect the boat this is in the right, not to allow a boat to get 'into the right' a nano-second prior to a collision, etc.

That is my own minor opinion. In 34 more years, they might allow me to actually provide some input to the next rule book.
