In speaking with him, Burke realizes he's being an old "get off my lawn" man with this rule. He likes it, has his reasons, understands it's not popular, and knows he's likely going to have to roll with the times eventually... albeit grumbling along the way.
This is also a guy who keeps his hair and tie like that because it bothers people and it amuses him. So I assume this numbers issue is a similar thing. It's really a big deal about nothing IMO.
