There's following the letter of the law, then there's following the spirit of the law. This is when being a robot isn't helpful.

Yes, true, but the idiom "the law is an ass" doesn't exist for no reason.

Politics created the rules; drew the line beyond which is "bad". Nvidia stayed under the line so as to comply with the rules, and yet "politics" still doesn't like it.

Do you pay the exact amount of tax you owe to the government, or do you always add a bit of extra on top to comply with the "spirit of the law"?

You could equally well argue that it's the government's fault for not expressing the spirit they intended into the letters they wrote.

Language is ambiguous. That's why we have judges.

Numbers aren't ambiguous.
