I’m going to guess you’ve probably already thought about this, but just in case: is it worth adding a guideline about the guidelines being fuzzy and/or not being a comprehensive list? Or would that create more problems than it solves?

At such a general level, I think it would mostly go in one ear and out the other.

It's a bit different when specific cases come up because then there's a chance to talk about it, add clarifying comments, etc.
