That's the nature of law. It's a set of principles, it's not black and white in the way techies want the world to be.

Painful when needing to implement? Absolutely (not my favourite either, I want definite answers). The way it is? Yes.

Not all laws, nor all legal systems, are equally vague. It would be really helpful if the regulations had been accompanied with a large set of 'example applications' demonstrating how EU members should be expected (or required) to implement the law in specific scenarios.

Uncertainty is a real cost too.
