RE: Code is Law and Old Testament Gods

Extremely well said, and an inspiration to better things in the world of smart contracts. Joseph Campbell would also point out that justice is blind for a reason. Our human perceptions are notoriously inaccurate, and easily swayed by emotion and peer pressure.

"where it's difficult to model intent programmatically, one can still develop a domain specific language to capture it for humans to arbitrate" This captures the right path, I think. We can build in a method to ensure intentions are carried out in a lawful manner, while maintaining a ledger that documents our errors for correction, rather than attempting to erase them and rewrite history.
