Rules are created to ensure that they work for people. If there is a set of rules to make it better for people, and it doesn't, they may need a tweak.

Now you sound like the chief problems with the justice system in the US. We don't need to be terrible.

Exceptions should be made on a case by case basis for common sense rationales. Spirit of the law, not letter of the law. This way if someone "technically" doesn't violate the rules but is still violating the spirit of it - they've gotta go. An example would be contact details and ownership info that points to someone who may or may not exist but the contact info actually goes nowhere when you reach out because they never respond to anyone. Bots that just repost content from other sites like twatter and livejournal and reddit technically don't fall under not just reddit but still violate the spirit of "do not just repost shit from elsewhere with bots". The imagination of the masses is all that limits the scenarios so common sense needs to apply imo.

At the same time there will be useful options that technically violate. Something like a remindme bot might hit faster than 1/minute. Some kind of minigame bot that only replies to prompts in a certain sub for just that use case is another scenario. Automoderator replies for incredibly popular subs will probably break 1/min rules if people post faster than 1/min, for instance. Again... common sense!
