The idea that you need to point out that the law only comes into effect when it is needed is somewhat of a philosophical statement, that's all.
but I sense you're trying to back off from your earlier indefensible positions
No, I am not.
I stick to what I have said, and you can assume that is the case unless I specifically tell you I am changing my position.
which is fine by me
No, it's not fine by you, hence your post.
. . even if you are resorting to sarcasm to do it.
"***even if ***you are resorting to sarcasm" - makes it sounds like I have done something wrong or sarcasm is somehow problematic in a conversation ?
Sarcasm is a widely understood and recognised tool for getting a point across, I have no problem using sarcasm, don't let it spoil your joy of reading my responses. :P
