All our consistency duties are subject to implicit qualification QF (see Section 2.3). The duty to follow GR is overridden or doesn't apply if, for example, Dr. Evil will destroy the world unless you violate GR, you're a small child who can't grasp the idea of being on the receiving end of the action, or you're psychologically unable to follow GR. In practice, these qualifications aren't very important.
