I would think that the twelve rules should be in the form of what things are, not what they are not.

It is also implied that the twelve rules would be something to learn early on .... so it's for those just starting to learn ruby.

The rules should then be reasonably clear.

To say that x is not a character does not tell me as much as telling me that x is an integer.

Saying that the identity of self may change and that its best to learn the rules of when it changes, does not tell me as much as finding away to tell me the rules.
