Wolsey’s Postulate
The laws of style guides are determined by organizations with governing authority.
First corollary to Wolsey’s PostulateBecause humans comprise the policymakers in any governing authority, the only constant in applying the rules is variability.
Second Corollary to Wolsey’s PostulateAll editors and professors consider themselves to be governing authorities.

Corollary

–However, each has its own unique needs and style requirements.
