| well, they should know what they want |
You are "Inclusio unius est exclusio
alterius"! You presume that the
legislature chooses words very carefully when
it drafts statutes. Because they could have
used a different word, but didn't, the word not
chosen was deliberately excluded. You assume a
lot based, not just on what's in front of you,
but on what isn't. You have great faith in
others' ability to know exactly what they want.
Probably too much.
