"But in some other areas, law leaves little room for interpretation, and essentially aims to rigorously describe a computation, a decision procedure or, simply said, an algorithm."

I would love to know what these areas are. There I'd debate around all sorts of seemingly little things in the law, like a definition or a word being singular. On top of that you have "discretion" built in and highly utilized with the judge, cop, and especially the prosecutor.

We already have legal algorithms for sentencing, alimony, child support, etc. These are widely decried as terrible. Why would we want more?
