So? You're not arguing that we should get rid of 'reasonable' laws out of misinterpretations of them, are you?

Laws should be evaluated on the effect they actually have on society, rather than the effect that we wish they had on society. I am very critical of laws that fail this test, and I think they should be updated to improve their performance. We want the right outcome, not the right rules.
