Huh. If I was actually informative for once I think I'll consider that my Stopped Clock post and saunter off then, can't go screwing it up by sticking around. Also thanks for the clarification as well, I keep forgetting that the way a law is worded is often nonsensical at first, but starts to make sense if you step back and think of it.Oh, I don't know enough US legislation, so your reference to the Miller Test actually taught me something!
I can tell you though that it's not something peculiar, it happens all the time in law, some things are just very hard to define and sometimes the legislator just can't be bothered to come up with good definitions, so it leaves concrete application to the interpreters and thus it's jurisprudence the one giving shape and form to the precept. This for common law systems is most coherent, but it happens in civil law systems too, like mine (which grinds my gear at times because some laws are just consciously LAZILY written to speed up their adoption).
Referring to the average person is a leitmotiv in law for a lot of stuff, from deceival in contracts to crimes committed by omission, so it doesn't surprise me they reached that conclusion.
Anyway, it's probably better that I stop flooding the thread with legal considerations XD
And going back to our regular thread subject, I got to start the game and the UI seems nice and clean in the beginning. Thanks to a lousy kerfuffle I didn't get very far in, but I did notice something. Is the Alt key being used to skip text, or am I imagining things? If so, any way to rebind it? Normally I'd expect to see a config file somewhere, but I guess my RPGM-Fu is not that strong today.
I wouldn't say it's much of an issue at this early stage, but this is probably a game that will require a few panic Alt-Tabbings once the nipples start flying.
