I've noticed a trend where technology-inclined people take a very strict, autistic approach to the law. They tend to view the law as being analogous to source code in that there is no room for interpretation, intent or spirit behind what's codified.

I think this has manifested at its peak with Ethereum.

Laws are funny, they have a certain duality to them. They can be strict, but also fluid.
