I can understand having a rule about how long one can look at someone.
Really? What’s the correct length of time allowed then?
Not exactly sure but certainly longer than 5 seconds. Perhaps 30 seconds?(note I am not saying that just beaue someone stares for less time should automatically mean they don’t get in trouble: context, circumstances, etc would depend)
30 seconds? Ha. Stare at your watch for 30 seconds. See how long it really is.
it is 30 seconds long.

“People do not have internal chronometers.”
true.
Staring at someone for 5 full seconds is longer than long enough when given no reason to stare.
I was under the mistaken impression that
- the rule existed(it does not)
- the rule gave no consideration to the reason for staring.
