Unfortunately, that newsletter will never get into court. It's an interpretation of the law, and judges don't need it, and citizens can't violate a statute based on an erroneous opinion (not that it's erroneous, it's just not a factor in deciding guilt.)
A statute is what it is, and no bureaucrat can rewrite it.
Still, it's nice to see.
