Many people use the argument of "ignore all rules" in talk pages and process pages without really understanding the rules they think should be ignored. The vast majority of times, rules should not be ignored.
This is not a refutation of IAR, but rather, an ironic interpretation: as "ignore all rules" is a rule, it, too, is subject to being ignored.
