I guess it depends on one's interpretation of phrases like "untrammelled by man." Some folks are quite extreme interpreters. I think that the person who goes up to do register removal, as some sort of purification, has done trammelling in the process of getting there and probably needs to look up the definitions of "untrammelled" and "hypocrisy."
