>What is written is what is valid, not what you think it should mean

I am not sure if it would be a good thing or not if this was the case, but leaving that aside laws are, in fact, liberally interpreted all the time, depending on your jurisdiction's legal tradition. This is why you can't hack the law; the interpretation of the law will change to fill in the gaps, provided that's what the justice system wants.
