So you think the whole "outside in" rule is silly? It doesn't really matter too much these days, since most settings have no more than three forks set out, and if you decide to have fish (for example), they replace the standard dinner fork with a fish fork and the standard dinner knife, etc...but the "outside in" rule still remains.
