I don’t know much about the legal code. But when my computer code doesn’t work I don’t think of fixing it in terms of “add more code or don’t,” but rather “remove the bad code (if necessary) and add some good code (if necessary).”

Is that how you think about fixing software bugs too? "You're saying the existing code is broken so we should fix it by writing more code?"

No, I don't think so and I honestly don't see how this is relevant.

I am not saying that regulations are bad. It just that governments are accepting insane laws, and often they don't have mechanisms to undo what they've previously done. Or maybe they're not willing to use these mechanisms, it depends on the country.

This is just another example of that — law that sounds good on the paper and that doesn't make any sense in real life. I really doubt that mindlessly amending this regulation will make it better.
