My sentence was meant to be read as your current one does not seem to be that good. Yet you fastened on a less likely alternative and latched on to it with certainty as if it were an absolute truth.
And there is the issue, 'certainty'. The reason I mentioned common law is that common law is flexible and evolves. There seem to be a number of people saying that this all means that the government has given up. Do not be certain about that. I am suspicious, paranoid if you would and consider it sensible to be so. Time will show the truth or falsity of this. Nothing else.
You are quite welcome to the last word.
