There's a difference between process wonks and policy wonks:

- Process wonks favour process over policy
- Policy wonks favour policy over process

A process wonk will often get the wrong result using the right method. A
policy wonk will get the right result using the wrong method. Remember,
it's not the letter of the rules which counts, it's the spirit of the
rules; hence, making 4 reverts in 25 hours counts as breaking 3RR.
