to argue about the specifics of why they're wrong is to miss the bigger issue, which is that even if their arguments were watertight, it wouldn't matter. you can't prove with cunning pedantry that the laws actually work this way if all the people and institutions involved in interpreting and enforcing the law in your country are in agreement that no, actually they work some other way. the way laws work is the way society as a whole agrees that they work, not the way you want them to work, not even if you are the cleverest person ever. you can be as correct as you want in your own mind about how the law works but still be in prison because no-one agrees
