I object to 3,4,5.

I feel by concretely following these rules you will set yourself up for losing a lot of money by playing too tightly. Sometimes you want to raise with 55 in mid-late position, just so that your raise does not necessarily mean AA. Moreover, the most important thing in tourneys is position, imo. If you raise from mid-late position, it might get checked back to you, allowing you to take the pot.

Suited connectors can be quite valuable, especially if you know you are up against a tight, unimaginative player. 65s does very well against big cards and you can bluff a tight player when an unhelpful board comes to him.

Also- does 4 mean you can't play AKs?

I sometimes bet a flush draw, especially the nut flush draw. Generally in NL tourneys you don't have very good odds for flushes, as the bets get quite large. However, I feel if you bet your flush draws you can either a) win the pot right there b) make your flush or c) be beat. I'm rambling now.
