44. That really is absurd

That beats any examples I have. I have had published books (ISBN number available in bookstores) from my company be classified at a level where we could not discuss them. It made it difficult to provide our products and services under those restrictions. We finally resolved that, but we still have layers of security between us and the actual users.

In the old days, we had software subject to strict export controls, but if we printed the source code, exported that, and scanned it back in, it was not controlled and could be exported under an unrestricted general license.

There was a case with a NATO partner where there were strict rules and tariffs if you used 9-track magnetic tape, none if you used DAT tapes.
