Multiple layers of protection or unnecessaru rule duplication?

Why the duplication of the "Block - Traffic from Internet" rule for "All devices" and then again for a newly-created Guest network? This seems like unnecessary duplication as long as you can trust a single layer to protect you. What am I missing?

  In this case one could argue It is unnecessary to have two blocks on inbound traffic. To be honest, I never have used the shortcut networks like this one. If I need a new network I configure all the rules I need from whole cloth. One of the complains I have about Hoe rules are displayed currently is that when you look at rules for a single device or Groups you don’t see the rules for all devices.

  It could be that this “shortcut network” is just trying to make it clear to users who weren’t as savvy or knowledgeable as you are so they would see this.

  Makes sense. I did want to comment in case there was a valid reason that I was missing. A little duplication helps in any case. Thanks.
