My high school had a rule that required you to wear a "white collared shirt." Someone smarter than me showed up with a green shirt with a white collar. A comma was added shortly thereafter.
That's a millennial problem, not a boomer problem. 3 stars should mean "drove normally, got there" for the same reason that no more than one person should ever get 100 on a test. Always leave headroom to distinguish the elite!
Twitter has long admitted that there are different rules for super prominent people because anything they say is newsworthy and newsworthy things should stay up even when otherwise problematic.
