The dichotomy of actual law vs the subjective reality is definitely an issue that should be discussed, I agree. My only issue is that you posed it as a rebuttal and degrading my statement. I could have been less lazy in my wordage and assumed that people would understand the meaning behind it.

It wasn't my intention to make it seem like I was trying something shifty, I was legitimately just clarifying my meaning and using more accurate terms to do so. I do see how one could interpret it like I was changing positions as words do matter
