That is the point. The Japanese approach to creating legal documents is to make them as ambiguous as possible so that they can be interpreted any way the creator likes. This is somewhat true of overbroad legislation in other jurisdictions as well. The authors of the legislation don't want to create a fair and empirical test, what they want is the discretion to arrest anyone they feel has crossed a subjective line.

I thought that was the universal approach of legal documents? cough patents cough.
