Victoria Rules
In the initial books up to and including MMII, yes; and the jettison-modification process is relatively straightforward. After that, however, in subsequent books (UA, OA, DSG, WSG, etc.) the signal-noise ratio gets much worse and the challenge becomes more one of finding and extracting the bits worth salvaging.I'd say that sums it up nicely.
When you have the time and patience to do a deep dive into the books, the rationales for many rules become understandable and you can see how about 70% of the content holds together in a nicely balanced system, while 30% can be jettisoned or modified.
