Rohe's theorem

Rohe's theorem: "Designers of systems tend to design ways for themselves to bypass the system."

Or more generally: those who create or advance a system seek to prevent themselves from being exposed to it, perhaps as they have intimate knowledge of the faults or the predatory nature of the system.

Examples:

• Government officials can exempt themselves from certain rules that other citizens must abide by
• Big tech employees who block or limit the social media usage of their kids / want to move “off the grid”
• (Fast food) restaurant workers who rarely eat out
• Doctors who prescribe medicine but don't let their kids eat meds
• Teachers who homeschool their children
• Insurance company workers who don't have insurance themselves

In some cases, the following sayings relate: "never get high on your own product" and "Those who say the system works work for the system."
