There is very little connection between the two issues, or how they play out in practice. One bombed hospital isn't painless. Often one regulation isn't either but even if they are the cumulative effect can be a lot more harmful then simply adding up the effect from each. Hospital bombings have serious negative effects from each, but the cumlative effect is likely pretty equal to the addition of each, until you get to the point where you break down the hospital system completely. regulations are made in the 'fog" of governing If governing is foggy you can slow down more and take your time about it. If war if foggy slowing down and taking your time can get you or other people killed. In any case a mistake made in the fog, in either case is still a mistake. It doesn't become OK just because the facts and potential results were unclear when you made the decision. Bombing the wrong target might not be a war crime if its a mistake made in the fog of combat, but its still a deadly and often tragic mistake, that you wish you could take back (but you can't). A mistake in regulation could be taken back if its supporters would recognize the mistake.
