The point is that "safe" and "reliable" are relative terms. At some point a person or committee made a judgement call to define and quantify these words, then made some rules up to standardize it. Some other person or committee will inevitably come to a different conclusion. And then they will argue and try to force one's standard on the other because clearly 'my conclusion is better than yours'. Now, we can continue to discuss who's committee is more right, but politics is frowned on here.

It doesn't matter. It is much safer to have rules and regulations than to have nothing at all. Otherwise we live in a jungle and everyone does what he wants, everyone sells what he wants and so on.
