No, that is the fault of the laws as written. The problem with the

There is also the problem of laws written by people who often fail to
anticipate the unintended consequences of the laws they write,
compounded by the fact that people still don't approach legislation
the way they do software design and testing.
I still think version control, requirements management, and user
acceptance testing have very definite roles to play in the development
of legislation, and I'd still like to see alpha and beta level testing
with bug tracking, or a very close analogue, employed in the rollout
of new legislation. But I'm kind of a voice in the wilderness on that
one ..
Heard from a flight instructor:
"The only dumb question is the one you DID NOT ask, resulting in my
going out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of
torn and twisted metal."
