No. The crime/contract angle is not the most important element here. It's just a club that one side of a dispute happens to have, so they get to win the fight with their bigger club. It doesn't make their argument the more valid one.

I'm glad the judge disagrees with your... Creative interpretion of contract and criminal law not being the "more valid argument".

Yes yes, we got that. You are glad to let law not only defend but actually define right and wrong.

Well I have some news you may want to sit down for. Law is just a tool. A tool that was designed, manufactured, and finally wielded by people.

It gets worse. There is no such thing as any tool that was designed perfectly, or functions perfectly, or wielded perfectly.

We use it only because it's all we got and the best we can do. Chaos is worse. But all we got and the best we can do is actually quite garbage.

It's not worth your unthinking worship, and your unthinking worship does not make the world a better place.
