Might want to add to the ''Harry Potter'' example that it's because only 11 of them ever regularly apply. The other 690 are {{Obvious Rule Patch}}es like "[[CaptainObvious it's illegal to attack your opponent with an axe]]."

* In the ''{{Franchise/Halo}}'' series, the Cole Protocol is the most important Naval code to humanity's fleet, since it lists the actions they are not allowed to do to prevent the Covenant from discovering Earth. However several rules are often ignored because they're just technicalities. We only hear one of those, Subsection 7: "No captured Covenant vessel can be brought back to human space without a thorough search for tracking devices." (Useless because the Covenant self-destruct all their vessels in danger of capture.)
* In the fifth ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'' book, the school reveals it has the Big Book O' Rules, with nearly 8000 rules. We only hear two: "Rule 411: Don't kick school property into space", and "Rule 7,734: Don't transform into big, flying robots during afternoon recess."
