Oh, I'm absolutely not advocating fudging rolls or those kinds of uses of Rule 0. Like, at all. I was just pointing out that that advice is included in many trad games.
Sure, initial setups of authority matter. But that doesn't mean we stick to them no matter what.
If you want to take buying stuff as a comparison, I'd say mutually agreed-upon contracts are a better fit than someone else just setting a price in a store. And as a paralegal, I can tell you that people renegotiate contracts all the time. If both sides have signed it, but then it stops working for one side or another, often they will sit down and amend it, because they want to continue having a good relationship with each other.
To me, it's insane to think that when you play with friends, and they stop having a good time because of something that happens in the game, you just say "Well, fuck off then if you don't like the rules." Insane! :)
