Council chair: The traditional code of parliamentary procedure contains a large number of obscure, unnecessary rules,...

Why is B wrong? There was a response to this in the forum but I still don't understand.
In the stimulus it sounds like the source of the lack of public confidence comes from the trivial squabbling. It seems to me that if they adopt the new codes, and those codes are used primarily to play definition games with the opposition, that would cause more squabbling and ultimately further decrease public confidence.
Can someone explain how that is wrong?

By the way, I understand why C is correct. I just don't understand what's wrong with B.

Hi,
You're right the source of public mistrust is the squabbling over minor details. This is different from using the procedure to obscure your opponents understanding. This isn't a petty squabble, it's more akin to a dirty trick. However, this is not the same thing as spending time arguing over details. Tricking your opponent isn't the same thing as spending hours arguing over procedure. Maybe it could somehow lead to more squabbles, but that's adding our own assumption
