I was being a little tongue-in-cheek, but I find your premise very fun when thinking about how quickly it can be taken to extremes with criminal or civil damages.

Thankfully, our legal systems are much better equipped to deal with ambiguity like this than I think you are proposing.



I guess I was more saying that ambiguous laws can cause more harm than good, but then I was basing that on the title of the article of a summary of a translation of a summary of a law, so I'm probably wrong :P
