  What’s the point of saying something’s impossible? Why frame it that way? Should we keep trying, or no? Perfect isn’t the goal, and “impossible to make perfect” isn’t a useful summary, right? It seems like that’s what you saying, and I agree. The only reasonable question is whether it’s possible to improve, and the answer is yes it is possible to improve.

  > I'm not sure how you interpret "It is impossible to make laws perfect and unambiguous for all humans everywhere" as "We should just give up on refining laws because we can't get to perfection". Because the sentence you quoted was "We don’t conclude that laws are impossible to make perfect, we simply keep refining the laws, right?" "conclude" here means a full conclusion, stop and do nothing else. By quoting that entire sentence, and saying "we definitely do conclude that", it sounds like you're arguing we shouldn't bother with refining. And nothing else in your post praised the attempt to refine. Even now that you've corrected that misreading of your post, it means you were arguing against a strawman. dahart was just saying not to give up.
