Excuse me, but have you heard the teachings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Chr-AI-st?

The meaning and is important, but don't discount the needlessly complex writing(or opaque writing style) shoved in there to obfuscate the real meaning to anyone but the anointed few.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, yet it is allowed to be routinely transcribed in a cloud of pompous gobbledygook.

Even the politicians who vote for these laws are not held accountable to read and understand it beforehand.

The ambiguity is largely build-in with poor simple explanations. The courts are then tasked with making sense of it all and it is their opinions that give laws in any quality, teeth.
