If the worst possible application of a law is insane, then the law itself is NOT perfectly sane.

I don't see why. People don't need laws to do insane things. Everybody can do insane things and respect the law. Law is not a magical thing that force everybody to act rationally and sanely.

Imagine the converse: if the worst possible application of a law is too sane, then the law itself is not _strong enough_.
