Validity: No problems.
Style: Well, what exactly is this rule saying? Is it imposing a
restriction that "all rules mean the opposite of what they say"?
Can't be: the Epimenides paradox would rear its ugly head. Nor can it
be consistently interpreted as imposing a restriction that "no rules
mean the opposite of what they say".
If this rule imposes a restriction, it certainly isn't one of the
above two. And perhaps it imposes none at all, but simply makes an
assertion about someone's expectations.
Perhaps it will become more clear as time goes on. +2.0.
