Not quite. Think about it; instead of carefully writing your rules and making more rules for special situations and exceptions and carefully writing those rules, why not slap the one-rule-fit-all (in theory) "No Loopholes"?

Because making a rule impossible to misinterpret is less hair brained than making a "no misinterpreting my rules" rule

Correct. Your base argument, however, was that writing the rules better is "easier," which is untrue. Think of it like dealing with life problems Vs. drinking alcohol to forget them.
