Oh, cool! I see Hutt the Fuck-Up Fairy has visited us again!

No, Hutt, you're unsurprisingly about as absolutely wrong as you can be 
yet again.

The letter of the law is obviously paramount in the context of 
jurisprudential determination as evidenced by the 1000-page statutes we 
have coming out of Congress, millions of pages of administrative 
regulations, and the multi-page click-thrus of tiny and 
near-hieroglyphic legalese that you have to agree to just to use a piece 
of software.

If all we needed to concern ourselves with was a law's "spirit", then 
none of that would be necessary.

I'd elaborate further but I don't have the time or the crayons to 
explain it to you. Jeezus, Hutt, if I wanted to kill myself, I'd climb 
your ego and jump to your IQ.
