Funny, this thread reminded me of talking with my 9-year-old this morning. She wanted to play with a puzzle program on the computer. She also wanted to be able to leave early enough to walk to school. She couldn't do both. So she whined and carried on about wanting to play with the computer for so long we were too late to walk to school... So neither happened.
Except you're talking about physical laws, not about the necessity of traditional Japanese etiquete when practiced by non-traditional westerners. It's like requiring that I wear a toga if I wanted to join classical latin class.
