Attempting to maintain the abstraction of law by fixing it when it leaks has the hazard of bad actors sneaking undesirable elements into our social structures, like violently maintained hierarchy. Adopting a mindset that law is fundamentally flawed and its language is essentially incoherent helps mitigate this possibility.
An example of such incidence is when people trust the police to the point that they prejudge conflicts involving the police on the basis that they represent the law, and the law is good, therefore the police are good. This is still happening.
