I agree, and it's factually true; my concern was that if training on Halachic law was good practice for common law, then our legal systems suffer too much from complications. I think the Halachic system is bad, and to the extent that our legal system resembles it enough to measurably advantage Halachic scholars, our legal system is bad too.
There was a move at one point to write laws in Python or some other programming code; I would then argue that if thinking like a programmer made you a better jurist or legal scholar, it says good things about both systems.
I think the Python thing was just for the payoff functions of securities, not for laws as such.
That is disappointing. Lawmakers who think like programmers seems like it would be a huge improvement on the current system.
Lawmakers who think like programmers might be an improvement. But I'm not sure.
On Less Wrong, this almost reads as "if only lawmakers were more like me, things would be okay." I'm skeptical.
It would probably have to be coupled, though, with a state where laws are actually enforced consistently, and can be changed quickly if they end up screwing things up massively.
