But the list of counterexamples is nearly as long as the Examples

No. I had a beard in my early 20's, and it never stopped itching. I don't want 
one again.

Besides, I work with power tools and have no interest in having my face pulled 
into the drill press because my beard got snagged on it.

John Backus, designer of the fortran didn't have a beard. I 
think, in some cases, this rule may be disregarded.
