Safety management
The purpose of safety management is to discover events and risks so manageing them to reduce the chances of adverse outcome
Most rules in aviation are imposed as the result of adverse experience and so to disregard them enhances the risk they are designed to negate
Investigating events which seem to reveal a breach or rules is a valuable way to discover if the rules are wrong, outdated or an excessive constriction on trade. If the rule is not one of these it should be obeyed. If the rule is one of these it should be obeyed pending ammendment.
Risk management clearly shows we get a large number of warnings before an event becomes critical, ignoring the event series hastens that critical moment and usually makes the outcome inexcusable
