We all have different reasons for diving and I think this may account for differing views regarding risk/rules.
Some people just want to go underwater and seek the safest means possible. They take the neccisary training, follow the suggested rules and successfully get what they came for.
Other people have what some might consider personality defects and seek recognition by intentionally breaking the rules. They have no real purpose for doing so other than being labeled "rule breakers" "cool" or "rebels".
Still other people are inherrantly "adventursome" and can't help but to seek out and push the boundaries. They recognise that, in order to do so, they have to violate some conventional rules and do not see them as inviolable boundaries the way others do.
Finally, some divers probably began diving before the rules were invented and can't see the point of changing their ways this late in the game.
I like to think of myself as falling into view number three for the most part but will admit to having taken the occasional guilty pleasure from view number two...
