So many people think that the world runs algorithmically, like the code on their computer. Society is built upon interactions between real people. Everyone exercises a massive amount of judgement in whatever they do, for better or worse. And this is true for the legal system as well. Your "well technically I'm correct" arguments aren't going to work in front of a judge and jury the way they do on the internet.

This is one of the reasons I dislike the "literalist" judges and their "interpretations". It goes against what the law _is_, in my opinion.

Note: I have a law degree, but am not a lawyer
