I think we’re talking about different things?

You seem to be referring to ideal or better/more effective. I was referring to what is.

There is of course a gap there, and any changes to move ‘is’ to ‘better’ or ‘ideal’ requires a lot of buy in and messy negotiation from people who aren’t likely hanging out on Hackernews debating the topic.

I am also referring to what is.

Law does not operate in a vacuum.

And, I am saying it is more effective to give all the forces regulating behavior consideration.
