I think technical people are fascinated by this zone because we like rules and thus anything that has a unique set of rules is interesting. The reality, though, is that legislation isn’t code, the Constitution is violated all the time, and most legal codes are more like suggestions.
While this sounds dystopian, it is probably actually preferable to a state that enforces all of its laws to the letter.
