| I heard from a friend, who talked to his uncle who stated that he heard on a 20m 
net, that hams 
are allowed to disregard any FCC rule that they find inconvenient.

Thankfully, this is not the case.  The FCC rules are quite clear on this issue. 
 From Section 107 of Part 97 FCC rules:
“(a) The station licensee is responsible for the proper operation of the 
station in accordance with the FCC Rules. When the control operator is a different 
amateur operator than the station licensee, both persons are equally responsible for 
proper operation of the station.
(b) The station licensee must designate the station control operator. The FCC 
will presume that the station licensee is also the control operator, unless 
documentation to the contrary is in the station records.
(c) The station licensee must make the station and the station records 
available for inspection upon request by an FCC representative.
