Laws are written by people, and people make assumptions.
When I say "the law assumes" I obviously meant "the people who wrote the law assumed."
People expose unintended loopholes in laws all the time, because the people who wrote the laws assumed certain things that ended up not being correct.
- kelnos 7y agoI don't agree that the people who wrote the law assumed that at all. The actual text of the law gives no indication of that. But regardless, neither you nor I have any idea what was in the heads of lawmakers at the time, so any such speculation is useless. All we have is the text.
