When the city writes an ordinance saying chemical factories must have fire alarms I do not blame the city for the fire alarm noise.

I would however blame them if they wrote an ordinance that was widely misunderstood to mean that someone had to knock on my door each day to make sure I knew the local chemical factory had a fire alarm.

If the chemical factory sets themselves on fire every day to set off the fire alarm to annoy me to pressure me into removing the fire alarm law, I still blame them.

I think we should make sure they're not allowed to do that, and actually enforce it.

> widely misunderstood

Moments ago it was "misunderstandings or malicious compliance". Did you misplace one on your apologetic quest?

I'm really trying not to assume the worst about you. Is there any reason you insist so much on giving the benefit of the doubt to every law breaker out there? Especially when we're sometimes talking about very deep pockets who can afford lawyers?
