Because most people feel an ethical obligation to follow the law. (And I'm not saying this as a member of this group). So if you find a person who does not feel compelled to follow the law, they could be an ethical anarchist, or altogether unethical. Purely given how fringe anarchism still is, I don't think it's too unreasonable to guess that the person is in the second category.

I think that's exactly wrong, given the number of people who don't feel compelled to say, follow the rules about when to cross the road, but don't commit theft or murder.

It shows that large classes of people are willing to follow rules that they think are ethical, while ignoring others they regard as immoral or amoral.
