Great points. I've also noticed that tech people can struggle to accept that the legal system has different outcomes depending on a person's intent, and methods for determining what that intent was. There are many ways that interpreting law isn't the same as executing code, but that's the one I run into over and over. A judge isn't a CPU, and neither is a jury. They can differentiate superficially similar actions.
