It's best to rely on the letter of the law until judges rule otherwise. You're just giving bad legal advice here I think.

Do you mean the most restrictive interpretation of the law you can imagine? Because you can't actually know what the letter of the law means in specific cases before a judge rules something.

You can of course try living your life like that, but you'll likely find that it becomes effectively impossible to do anything.

No, you use your best judgement, and then add a good safety margin to boot.
