Profound or No-So-Profound Discovery?

For more than five decades, I've heard about 'the unwritten rules.' Like, in elementary school, "It's kind of an unwritten rule that 7th and 8th graders blobbity-bleep-blope-bladda...."


In college, it was "Even though it's the student radio station, it's kind of an unwritten rule that we nibbidy-nop-blop bloo-biddy-bo...."


Uncle Sam did it to me in the service, "The unwritten rule for combat medics is that frickety-flobb-flurk-flom...."

Are all these sets of unwritten rules just monuments to illiteracy or what?
