@inthehands conversely, there's a case where people expect code to behave like law. Namely, the people who want encryption systems to have backdoors accessible via govt paperwork like a court order.

The point they (perhaps deliberately) never understand is: you can't make the _cryptosystem_ verify a court order is legit. A human has to check that. And then they do something to the code. Which the code would obey whether or not the human had checked the court order, or even had one to check.
