Before this turns into a religious war lets define our terms.

If end users are customers of United Airlines buying airplane tickets on the web they don't need to know the business rules. But if the application is an internal app. commissions by a department or division not only should they know the rules ... applying those rules should be their responsibility. [Backed up, of course, by sound constraint and data integrity enforcement].
