Is that so? Recent rulings in the US specifically gave me the impression that when backed by sufficient legal representation and goodwill on the judging side indeed any possible interpretation will suffice.

I think that's what makes law making complicated - you either err on the side of leaving too much room for interpretation or not enough.
