I read it more as ”you obviously understand the spirit of the law, and so will judges and jury members, even if the letter of it can be twisted if you argue in bad faith”. Not that the law would be intentionally ignored in favor of anyone’s personal agenda. A lot of people seem to love to try to poke hole in laws through nitpicking and technicalities in the written word, whereas in reality rulings are made by humans who are still allowed a modicum of common sense and discretion. NB, I haven’t read the law and I wouldn’t be qualified to comment anyway, this is my interpretation of the comment you responded to.
