It's a way to show that the legal system is too complex. In the 80s the Justice Department tried to count the total number of criminal laws and they failed.[0] If the government can't even keep track of the number of them, then how is it reasonable to expect regular people to follow all of them?

That's completely nonsensical. Your argument is analogous to saying "C is entirely too complex of a language, C programmers can even tell me how many ways there are to add two things. Why can't you just add them?"

Context and nuance are important in any expert system. Claiming otherwise is asinine.
