I spent $20 on this video player but it doesn’t support my format! Does anyone know if the $50 pro version works? /s

Nope, I guess the processor just skips bad instructions, or most numbers are valid…

Unless this is a drop-in replacement for vim, I don’t wanna hear about it!

In my opinion, yes. “breaking the law” is a statement of fact that is based on what is actually quantifiable.

The fact that I was traveling over the speed limit is the only relevant factor. My intentions and consequences are irrelevant.

An overwhelming number of people seem to think that either intention or whether you were charged are relevant to the question here:

yeah, so the “level of crime” is debatable, but if I kill someone it would not be wrong to say “I broke the law” right?

Maybe it was justifiable, but it is up to a jury to determine guilt.
Really the essence of my question is: “are ‘guilt’ and ‘breaking the law’ seen as different things.”

conversely, if a murderer got acquitted, but then indisputable proof that the were the murder came out afterwards, you would say, “he broke the law”.
