The rules are good, and they solve the questions asked in this case, but as has been pointed out in other threads over the years, the rules don't always get followed in print. For example, different practices can be found regarding accidentals carrying over to the same note in other octaves; as I recall someone listed examples. Also, accidentals are a major source of editing difficulties, from obvious errors to longstanding controversies. Sometimes the composer changes their mind and there's two versions. Sometimes theory imposes a change after years of established practice. Know the rules, but once in a while there's more to it.
