Now multiply it with hundreds of thousands of people wearing high heels. I'm pretty sure there will be a significant dent on the rock. Since these are historical places, and mostly tourists are going to visit there, I will simply respect the rules even if they sound absurd. Afterall they do have some intent behind it. If you get frustrated for this reason, well don't visit the place. No one is telling you to go there.
