"Every rule has an exception!" Is that a rule? In that case, it has an exception which means that there is at least one exceptionless rule which means that "Every rule has an exception" is false...

My mind is twisting around this one... the terms "rule" and "exception" have been wrung through my mind so many times they sound like gibberish... im having a meltdown... my mental harddrive is crashing... perpetual loop
But I think the exception to this rule is that this rule itself has no exception. Which in principle makes the rule an exception to itself, making it theoretically sound but flawed semantically.
Its good to know the rules because when you get check'd 10 moves in and have to move the king you realize its because you didn't castle early enough and then you can gain an understanding of what is castling too early and what is castling too late.
Same thing goes with losing a rook or getting forked... you just have to say, hey I missed something there, now lets take a look back and see what it was... one of the first things you should look at is what general principals you violated.
