I remember reading a famous BY quote where he stated, if "I wanted to require all women to wear a blue ribbon in their hair ...." in order to test obedience. This can be contrasted with the episode of Helmut Huebner who was the young LDS that disobeyed the Church and was executed at age 17 by the Nazis for handing anti-Nazi literature. Because he disobeyed, the Church excommunicated him, but decades later, reinstated him. Obedience for obedience sake is unwise.

That BY quote reminded me of the scene in Beastmaster, a low budget film, where the evil priest wanted to show how devoted his subservient priests were, so he ordered them to hang themselves, which they did.

It seems to be an abuse of power to order solely for the sake of obedience. Thus, the BYU-I abusive notion of making it more restrictive that BYU, or the temple seems completely unreasonable. BYU is a better organization.
