Law is code, and the words used in legislation or case law do not mean the same thing as the same words used in everyday scenarios. Entire cases are won or lost based on interpretation of “and” versus “or”, and even whether the presence or absence of an Oxford Comma changes the meaning of a law. PS: code as in secret message, not code as in logical and prescriptive language for specifying tasks to a computer.
