Being alarmist and pedantic about specific language of legal text is precisely what is needed to point out flaws. The only thing more terrifying than a governing body making laws about things they fundamentally do not understand is having the courts, with their own incomplete understanding, decide their own interpretation of them.

Agreed, and that is also a good advice for those submitting responses to open consultations. Yet, Vaughan-Nichols certainly was not pedantic in this piece.

I'd argue a small group of people on an obscure mail list defining things so as to best suit them is an even worse form of governance, despite its relative popularity in this forum compared to more standard methods.
