Are you seriously trying to say that lawmakers can't write buggy code with edge cases they didn't consider?

Sure they can.

Here, I think some lawmakers probably thought (a) "if someone can use this tool that well, then more power to him", or (b) I don't like it, but it is so unlikely, and I can probably live with it.

I don't think it was a scenario of someone failing to "consider the case."
