1. they can do that by always applying the wrong policy letter. All you have to do is take the policy letter that applies to A and instead of following that find another one that doesn't really apply to A. But find something in it that can be construed as to apply to this and they say "Well you see we can't do that." Policy was designed to tell people things they could do, and when it tells them not to do something it's trying to put edges on the channel so they won't go off of it. But what channel? The channel of doing something right. Now if a fellow doesn't know the policy that gives him the main channel and only knows the policy that tells him to stop then you will get people using policy to stop. (ESTO 11, 7203CO6 SO I)

2. a person not doing his post purpose will pick bits of policy out that seem to state the order given cannot be followed. If you track down such a person's post purpose you will find he or she hasn't got it and is using policy to stop. (HCO PL 27 Feb 71 I)
