Yeah. I wonder where all the bits about "individual good judgement
must be used" went. It seems to me that Branden has reacted to the
objections that too bright bright-line tests are not a good idea,
simply by defining another and even less flexible bright-line. What
good can possibly come of this?

No, but there can be good reason to vant to not include them when one
reuses part of the manual.
