If CoC's were specific, they'd be called laws, rules, procedures.

CoC's like the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence exist to capture values, principles, culture, intent.

You're not exactly helping the case that this whole 'governance' is flimsy, a facade over arbitrary application of power.
