   /// 2. both rules have the same action, and
   /// 3. both rules are enabled or disabled, and
   /// 4. both rules have source and destination columns negated or not, and
   /// 5. both rules have the same time objects, and
   /// 6. either one of the following is true:
   /// 6.1. both the source and destination columns match
   /// 6.2. both the source and service columns match
   /// 6.3. both the destination and service columns match
