Yeah the nanny states rule where it is legal for kids to make and use but not for adults!
As for all the rules it seems commonsense is the looser. Take the "400 feet" above ground in hilly country where topography changes by more than that. Actually had the situation monitiong an activity on private property 30 km from the nearest "airport", well airstrip anyway, when I got a shock to observe a helicopter BELOW the drone. I took the action to remove the drone as far away from the helicopter as possible and get it on the ground ASAP. Subsequently I spoke to the business involved and they were surprised that a drone was in the air and suggested it was probably the last thing they would have been looking for. They were down around the 500 ft AGL doing their thing and given the topography that actually put them below most of the property and drone launch site.
