While there have been historical efforts of all kinds in the past to preserve publications, it's not really certain that all published books are preserved.

Case law, however, is an archive that you could say by the motives of both good and evil forces - has been an archive that would be very difficult to destroy.

There is a reason why people who become wise to legalese get free cars, free homes, diplomat passports, tax removal, debts cleared, and cash.

Because they are prepared to enter very serious information into archived court proceedings

People who are wise to legalese become a threat to the system, not because they know the loopholes (there are none), but because they could teach others to become wise as well. How does the system mitigate that threat? Yes, bribery.

That's why the system allows you to get stuff if you know stuff. It allows you to be happy so you don't fight the system, and ideally, to make you dependent on the system. Continuity of government is the highest goal.

Regarding case law: It's a perfect foundation for a peaceful society that is built on contracts instead of enforced law. You don't have to reinvent the wheel – just take the violent aggression out of it.
