There is always an exception to a rule.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Norwegians value 'likhet' (equality) and rules, but they also have a strong sense of 'pragmatisme'. This proverb is often used to soften the blow of a strict rule. In the context of 'Janteloven' (the Law of Jante), this proverb can be a subtle way to show that no one is perfect and no system is absolute. In Norwegian law, 'skjønn' (discretion) is a key concept. This proverb is the layperson's way of describing the legal principle of discretion. In Norwegian universities, this is often used by professors when introducing complex theories that have famous outliers.
