I don't think that "arguing that something is against the rules" is in the CIA sabotage manual, because it's not generally considered sabotage. Maybe if you argue things are against the rules that you know aren't, to slow things down?
It’s not so much arguing against the rules. It’s following them to the letter when unnecessary.
It doesn’t matter that the big boss has said that purchasing a $5 knick-knack is ok. You will have that purchase go through the full procurement process, even up to and including an exhaustive search for (cheaper) alternatives.
I also love to unilaterally determine what is and isn’t necessary.
Are you suggesting that’s a valuable use of time?
I make decisions about such tradeoffs every day.
