Nah you're attributing human error in the construction of these rules as a factor. When humans construct rules at this level of complexity those bugs do appear.

Nah you're attributing human error in the construction of these rules as a factor. When humans construct rules at this level of complexity those bugs do appear. However.... These rules we are addressing here weren't constructed by a human. We don't even know if they were constructed at all. It could be a perfect set of rules despite the complexity. I'm more on the side of simplicity just because it seems that way, but technically and logically speaking... there is no evidence at all against what the OP said.
