I don't think arguing that having a condensed one line per rule checklist that 
could be consulted during review.  I think this is a fine idea.  What people 
(including me) are objecting to is forcing the reviewer to paste this list 
into the review bug.

Exactly.  If there is a problem with somebody just saying "APPROVED" and not 
actually doing the review right, that same person will most likely just past 
the checklist and quickly fill it out (or use a pre-filled list) and STILL 
not actually review.  This doesn't do anything to solve the problem it just 
hides it behind more useless noise.
