I think it’s good to observe this! I also have some baseline wariness about trying to codify subtle human behaviors into policy; I don’t think people think good guidelines are bad, it’s just hard to develop good guidelines. But it’d also be helpful to even just make explicit what people understand existing norms to be, because then we could have a more grounded conversation about what they should be.
Minor not, I doubt CEA is ever gonna write “you might meet someone you have great chemistry with and make out with them”. So the range of norms they can describe might be limited.

yeah that’s my sense also.
