Fortunately there are enough exceptions to Wozniak's guideline that violating rule 2 can often be beneficial. For me this applies to any information that I am able to understand (rule 1) from the terse information in the cards themselves. In the same way I tended to learn most efficiently from practice exams when studying.
For material that is too complicated (or simply insufficiently specified) to learn from the Anki deck I do honor rules 1 and 2. This means I keep the deck in my active reviews only if (and when) I am sufficiently curious about the subject matter that I will naturally be inspired to look up every term I encounter and do not understand. Just In Time learning is viable.
