I don't see this as a good way to get the point across. I perceived it like this:
1. This is a game, here are the rules, remember, it's not about intent, as in "should this vehicle be allowed?", it's strictly about the rules, i.e. "is it a vehicle" && "is it in the park?".
2. Look at how difficult content moderation is, people said the ambulance should not be allowed in the park!
While I agree that content moderation is difficult, prefacing it with a rigged game that primes people to make bad judgements is not a good argument.
(Personally, I would like every rule to come with the justifications/reasoning behind it, so I could make the decision to break it more easily, e.g. if wilderness areas had the rules "No mechanized or motorized equipment shall be used" annotated with "It's about the noise" then an electric wheelchair would be fine, but not a loud drone etc.)
