I like the line from the Eddie The Eagle movie when he said ski jumpers have a saying: “ NO ONE is bigger than the hill”

In the same sense, the strict structure in the beginning is what kept it working smoothly. Not only was the public afraid of LCN members but, the LCN member were afraid of breaking any rules.
Now it seems like fear exists most in the upper echelon. It reversed somehow.

The inception of a higher up breaking a rule or give a pass for a broken rule just trickled on down to its demise.

I think it is ludicrous was Quiet Dom did but, an old schooler was set in his ways. Probably wanted to keep the structure of it all but failed to realize how saturated the code became by many.
