OTOH, if you start applying the law to the letter as it is written in the books, you'll quickly see how stupid certain laws are. And here stupid could be anything from not enforcable without arresting everybody, inconsistent, contradictory, etc. Think of it as formal verification of the law. The result, in turn, you can show to politicians or the people and convince them to change it.
