Laws need diffs and refactoring.
- flukus 8y agoI'd like unit tests too. Done in TDD fashion by the creators of the law, not the ad-hoc edge case finding of the precedent system.

Laws aren't written and can't be written as exactly specified specs. Laws are written to be interpreted loosely by human judges and applied to a bunch of difficult real world messiness. Not clearly defined interfaces and types.
