the parenthisis generally give a guide line where one word is unclear in a 
lone standing.  In you example, bIv is specific to a type of thing to break.  
In other words, the rules aren't really broknen in to seperate pieces, rather 
they were not followed.  By the parenthisis being around the subject word, it 
would seem to insist, at least to me, that this word is inappropriate to use 
for a synonym for words like shatter or discribing the verb for having 
something come apart.  A subject and object would be required as each 
sentence varies.
