Lawmakers don't refactor the laws like programmers refactor their programs. Laws get more and more complex with more and more bolt on patches. Times change but they don't get updated.
There Are so many laws it is impossible to know if you are breaking one or not.

Laws are designed by committee. We know how that works out for programming projects.
I think the volume of laws could be significantly reduced and laws could be simplified, but the law making process doesn't allow it.

- rayiner 14y agoThe law is "refactored" all the time. That's one of the tremendous virtues of the common law process. And while the law is designed by committee, it is applied in any given case by a single judge which has insight into the actual issues in play. Again, a tremendous virtue of the common law process.
