For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

It's supposed to be a game of cat and mouse, but right now the cat isn't even trying. I think what's needed is some sort of 'living legislation' that constantly updates to close loopholes that stakeholders find in it. Iirc this should be possible in common law systems with deliberately vague laws whose interpretation keeps getting updated by court cases.

Wasn't that the idea behing the Chevron doctrine? Leave the specifics up to experts rather than bamboozling Congresscritters about details.
