It certainly matters to understand the reasons behind various etiquette rules. For me, "I told you so" isn't good enough. Give me a cogent reason and then I may choose to go along.
For example, holding a door open for someone is obviously courteous and thoughtful. Wearing a hat doesn't affect other people.
BTW, I don't wear hats, so it's not a problem for me either way.
