I disagree, although it depends on your definition of "may". My
reading of "no rule may contradict" is that contradiction is
unacceptable in which case you are indeed "completely determined by
it".

But this I agree with. Whether something is forbidden or not is a
product of time and place. In the UK (where I live) it was once
acceptable to burn people alive. In modern Britain that would get you
into trouble. If I were to travel back in time I'm not sure I could
argue that my position on witches was "neutral" and therefore they
should put down that flaming torch. I think I would have to seek a
different form of reasoning.
