I disagree.  If you accept the premise of the RFC, which is that
the goal is to be able to communicate effectively, then this is a
natural consequence of the first two statements, as explained in
the RFC.

Chapter and verse, please.  You must be reading something I don't; I
can't find any statements in there which says this.
