Cheating, rules and games, sentence 3

Rules matter, but some rules are unfair and should be challenged respectfully, and sometimes a more important duty, like fetching help for a hurt child, outweighs a small rule.

Who acts: Rules, important duty · What happens: matter, be, challenge, fetch, hurt, outweigh · To what, where: help, small rule

This is a sentence of the lesson «Cheating, rules and games» of the religion ethics course of Mova's primary school.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
