That's a deeply insightful observation about my analogy... thanks! </s>

The point was: Continuously bolting on new {law, code} tends to monotonically increase a system's complexity. Many people consider unnecessary complexity "bad." I'm one of those people.

Sometimes I just can't be bothered to spoonfeed the drones. That's not sarcasm. My point was that "a law" is not an atomic item like you think it is.
