I remember when people used to say ianal. Innocent times when we thought there was an objective law and lawyers knew it. But that's not how these things work. The truth is that no one knows. Ultimately a bunch of people will decide how they feel about it. Well-read legal scholars trying really hard to be fair, but still just people. No one can predict with full certainty which way it will go.
