There's a real slippery slope issue here too though, for several reasons, that I'd expect would lead to overuse.

It's a fancy new thing that will be branded as helping to avoid mistakes, reduce legal system costs, increase consistency, etc.

So, it will be applied to existing laws more generally than the abstract suggests it should be.

New laws will be made with this in mind, increasing application regardless of whether the new laws are actually literally interpretable.

It will become entrenched and hard to remove as allocated funds to pay people to do the same jobs disappear.
