In an absolutely pure form? Sure, but that's true of most good things (e.g. justice). That doesn't mean the concept is bad or that shouldn't be pursued to the greatest degree possible, especially when the alternative is to have someone interpret the law like Humpty Dumpty when it suits them (https://www.fecundity.com/pmagnus/humpty.html https://www.fecundity.com/pmagnus/humpty.html).
