Text and tables are two seperate entities within an article.  There is no externeous bolding in the article text.  Bolding in tables is not covered in WP:BOLD.  In fact bolding is built into tables, with the ! starting field which not only automatically bolds the text, but also changes the color of that cell to a darker shade of grey.

WP:IAR can be applied to anything.  The ""rules"" you mentioned above are not rules, they are guides.  There are not requirements.

As for ring of fire experiences, you should see it from our perspective.  You seem to be quite adament that ""breaking rules"" when it comes to edit warring is justifiable, so I'm not sure where you're coming from with saying that methods of style, which are inherently not rules, cannot be broken in this specific article.
