Across history, human moral systems have shared a curious pattern: the stricter the rulebook, the richer the archive of exceptions.

No wonder it feels personal that this team rejects your efforts. It is personal; it's happening to you. But it's not about you. This team might have so much internal tension that they can't stand to be in a meeting together. Maybe they had a bad experience with your predecessor.
