> Wow, explicitly means it is directly defined in the statue. Which it isn't.

This is some radical new definition of "explicit" that hasn't caught up to public usage nor the dictionary.

In normal parlance, explicit just means that someone involved in the crafting, at some point, stated "I am writing this bill for X reasons". There's often quite a lot of evidence about that, which is not contained in the statue itself.
