What a well written article. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

" Rejecting the notion that the letter of the code is law and endorsing instead the notion of the spirit of the code is law provides a flexible framework for the EOS civil society experiment to iteratively learn from mistakes and improve and optimize its governance model."

I believe that this is a crucial step in the evolution of law. It needs to be flexible in today's world so it can adapt quickly. Laws tend to get outdated and misunderstood quite quickly (2nd amendment comes to mind) but the intent is usually the same even after 242 years.
