>When you have very specific lingo, it’s extremely easy to circumvent the law. You want to keep the law vague and open so you have lots of maneuver room to prosecute. This assumes you trust the government, which when compared with companies I 97% do. Bruce Schneier’s latest book, “Click Here to Kill”, makes the same point [1]. Companies don't have a monopoly on force that the government does. This greatly changes how you calculate who the law should favor. I much prefer specific laws instead of laws that are selectively applied to whomever the government decides to target, because there is a long history of showing a very evil nature in how they pick targets.
