Some rules are good, some rules are bad. Too many bad rules result in people with the possibility of leaving to leave. The better an employee is, the more possibilities it has to leave. In conclusion, given a company with enough bad rules, good people will leave.

I don't see a problem with this premise. You can argue about which rules are good, and which rules are bad, but to skip the entire article (and brag about doing it) is shortsighted.
