If that doesn't cohere with the questions individuals exploring the law actually have, maybe that isn't a good way for legal frameworks to be designed?
- johndhi 4y agoThis is a very complicated proposal you've made but I think the main answer is, it isn't scalable for policymakers or even courts to consider everyone's individual situation a priori. It would cost too much money.
- YawningAngel 4y agoIt seems to me that our existing legal system costs an enormous amount of money, in that it produces laws that can't be usefully engaged with by lay people without expensive expert advice. It just conveniently externalises this cost on to people who aren't policymakers.
