Luckily things are interpreted by human judges who can use discretion and interpret things in a sort of "do what I mean" way, so "bugginess" isn't as big of an issue as it is in coding.

This is as true as ever changing compiler extensions like undefined behaviour optimizations have proven a success for maintainable and portablility.

Well, until we reach smarter-than-human AI, you ultimately have to base everything in society on trust. That's why I actually find the ideas around trustless systems to be potentially dangerous.

Discretion of a human judge is grease on the gears of law.
