After learning the constant rule, you find a ruleset that doesn't seem too awful, and then don't learn it.

Hell is trying to abstain from pattern matching.

Wouldn't that count as learning a rule and cause the meta-level rules to change to something worse if you started using your knowledge to make it more tolerable?
