How does common law logically function in the real world? Only when people know enough to enforce it? That's kind of how the law works in all scenarios. There are so many skeletons in the closets, however most are unenforceable because there is more reasonable precedent in the other direction. If nothing else, I'd like to see a lot of law refactored into human readable language while keeping its meaning.
