Some rules are stronger than guidelines, no doubt,
however one might define rule, guideline, and
strength for each.
A guideline is a rule. A rule is not necessarily
a guideline.
Effective strength of a rule doesn't necessarily
come from the rule itself; it comes from its
enforcement.
Put differently, just what's meant by the strength
of a rule?
In country X they have very strict driving speed
limits. But the enforcement is limited. Every
few years they clamp down further on the amount
of blood alcohol allowed. But without enforcing
such a "strong" rule the additional "strength" is
meaningless.
