Fields not being hidden despite a business rule

Question

In this thread I verified that the correct approach for hiding some individual fields from a composite field is done correctly. That seems to be confirmed by other sources as well. However, despite a rule defined like so:

I still get the stupid fields to show up when on account form. It looks as the following image depicts and is a high level annoyance and reason for my teeth grinding. What am I missing? (Yes, I did activate the rule and I reloaded the form.)

Answer 1

If there are any issues with business rule (i.e. when attempting to hide a field not present on the targeted form, as is the case, due to mix-up between country and county), it wouldn't proceed, the execution will stop but there won't be any complaints or any errors thrown.
