If I said "we don't allow murder", but gave everyone 17 free murders, would you find that contradictory?

mgaunard|13 days ago

No, I would call that being confused about the distinction between law making and law enforcement, which are traditionally very distinct things.

It makes sense for there to be leeway due to the scale, automations and high rate of false positives with limited capabilities to correct them.

No?

Like, I'd think that was a bad policy for murder in particular, but "we don't allow things but we give you a lot of chances to correct your behavior" is ordinary.
