A man has a right to get shot but it doesn't mean it's wise to ask for a bullet. Sometimes following the law is the path to receiving a bullet and it would be wise to break the law. Other times not following the law is the path to receiving a bullet and it would be wise to follow the law.
So the only thing you need to do is find ways not to receive a bullet. If that means following the law then follow it and if it means breaking the law then break it. That is a metaphor for effective pragmatism and effective altruism. Yes I play the long game, and if I didn't I wouldn't be here for very long.
Indeed, dilemma of to follow the law or to break it is about agreement in price you pay for breaking the law and disagreement beetween value of assets your have and you probably will have.
