Any particular reason you are against 8182? I meant it as a simple bugfix.

that's dumb. the rules can't say that 'interpreting' something is
IMPOSSIBLE (well they can, but it utterly defies reality). instead they
have to just positively say what is true under them; to wit, they do not
proscribe unregulated actions.

It wouldn't gut contracts because anything specified by a Contract _is_
regulated under the rules. It's just designed  to prohibit _criminal_
liability for "interpret[ing]" the rules.

Sorry, I'm being an idiot - I was looking back and forth between

difference around the edges, but the two expressions both seem to fit the
