Why should the law make sense? It's a bunch of arbitrary rules put in place via largely reactionary pressure.
If you don't refactor code occasionally you end up with weird corner cases that don't make any sense. The laws of our nation haven't been refactored in any substantial way, ever. It's patches all the way down to the Constitution.
