Hm. I could be mistaken, but isn't it the job of the legislators to fix loopholes, rather than juries/judges etc.?
Because I can assure you that as soon as judges, juries, etc. start interpreting the law 'liberally', there will be people whining about "judicial activism", and how that is even worse than "dumbness"; never mind the fact that the case will be dismissed by a judge on appeal because of technical improprieties.
It's all well and good (and above all oh so very
convenient) to rail against "dumb" <something>, but it really helps if you at least get the group you want to be railing against straight.
