- [4957318-019](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4957318-019) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Legal garbage collection is blocked by politics rather than by analysis: outdated or redundant laws remain contentious when they carry symbolic importance for particular constituencies or when repeal would be read as weakening the regulatory framework.
  > Laws, even those considered outdated or redundant, can be politically contentious, particularly when they hold symbolic importance to specific constituencies or when their removal might be perceived as weakening the regulatory framework.

- [4957318-020](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4957318-020) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Determining genuine obsolescence is hard because statutes are interconnected: an apparently redundant law may be a foundational element of another statute or regulatory framework, so repeal produces a ripple effect through the broader legal ecosystem.
  > For instance, a seemingly redundant law may still serve as a foundational element for another statute or regulatory framework, creating a ripple effect if repealed.

- [4957318-036](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4957318-036) [design/asserted] -- The WDAG system never repeals: all precedents and rules are retained on the blockchain, so no legal principle is ever permanently discarded even when it ceases to be applied.
  > contrast, the WDAG system allows for the retention of all precedents and rules on the blockchain, ensuring that no legal principle is permanently discarded.
