An overemphasis on playing the game using the rules in the book?

Why even buy the book if you aren't going to play by the rules in the book? I have never understood this

An overemphasis on never having any homebrew rules and only using the rules in the book verbatim and being OCD about it.

I thought that would be clear from the context, but I guess it wasn't.
