Quick comment.
I can muster an easy Marxist objection to Chesterton's Fence: the fence was put there by a very powerful person who nobody else liked very much, and now that he's out of power, everyone else wants to remove the fence, because we never wanted it in the first place.
If you know why the fence is there, Chesterton's point doesn't apply.
