This often grates on most engineers, who want bright lines and definite answers.

FWIW, the thing that bugs me the most is that sometimes the bright lines are more important than the soft stuff like intent and sometimes they are not and there is little rhyme or reason for why. I'm not just talking things like strict liability versus mens rea either, its just that I don't have a good example off the top of my head. Maybe AT&T vs Weev?
