No, I argue what is present is indeed what is present and that alone. Your inability not to attach anything to that is the problem.
I have said countless times it doesn't matter if I think it's 'groovy' or you think I think it's groovy or you don't, or I don't, because it is the law which was passed a considerable amount of time ago and has not changed.
The merit of it is very simple, it's the law which was passed.
You either choose to respect the law or you don't. What you think, unfortunately, isn't relevant. How you behave as a shooter is. It's that simple.
