For your first 2 paragraphs, yes. Agreed. I don't understand the distinction you're making between "1) minor or abstract" and "2) speculation which is not yet realized but may turn out to be correct." Could you elaborate on #1. Again I also want to make the point that at least for this discussion I'm putting myself in the position of someone who is creating the law - not following it. But yes we should know what the current law is and what the case law is - yes. It can help us guide us there. So thanks for your insight there.
