This is a fundamental error in the SIAI analysis. CFAI 4.2.1 says "If an effort to get Congress to enforce any set of regulations were launched, I would expect the final set of regulations adopted to be completely unworkable."

History vividly teaches the danger of trusting the good intentions of individuals.
