My understanding is that it's the entire point actually. Jewish people believe that these loopholes are explicit rewards for studying God's teachings. They don't believe they are "tricking" god or doing anything untoward, but rather that they and their god are sharing a shit eating grin of "yup solved your puzzle, pretty great" That being said, I have to laugh at a lot of the "Sabbath" mode stuff, because it's purposeful self deception. If you use an elevator at all, even in sabbath mode that is fully automated, just your physical presence is actuating several physical switches and logical systems, with plenty of sparks generated from relays opening and closing.
