Not that it matters, but over at WikiVoices we have only three rules.
They've served us well without modification for over a year.
1. Cluefulness is mandatory. If someone lacks clue, offer them one of
your spare clues. If clueless person refuses multiple offers of clue,
clueless person gets booted.
2. In voice chat, belching is permissible only if it includes a three
second duration and a good chest tone.
3. In voice chat, heavy breathing is allowable only if accompanied by
video. Otherwise mute the mike.

Much narrower.
For IAR, it's also much too long. You've tripled its length.
IAR currently reads:
If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore
it.
We just need to phrase it so that you can ignore rules for purposes other
than improving or maintaining Wikipedia. Exact details aren't needed, as
long as that restriction is removed.
I think that the particular phrased wording works just fine as an
overriding preamble to BLP, but as Ken states not well with IAR.
Possibly a new policy, but it would fit into BLP just fine.
