A law that doesn't take into account how people react to is not "perfectly sane". This was the obvious outcome before it passed.

There is no reason to submit to abusive people because we know in advance they will react in bad way. Pragmatism has some limits and tracking everybody is out of limit even if it makes some types of business more difficult.

Law is a back-and-forth process; you can’t just create a perfect law on day one then stop evolving.
