One point was repeated over and over, often blatantly and occasionally quietly, which I found both wearing and saddening. Saddening, because the point repeated was the explanation that arguing against a particular law did not mean arguing for anarchy, that arguing against one extreme did not mean arguing for the other, or "criticism of DDT is not an endorsement of malaria" as he says in the book.
Presumably Lessig knows that that is necessary due to the observation that the ability to see shades of gray is obviously not rather developed with regard to humans (and the situation does not improve).
BTW, thnx for the meaningful review.

His command of writing is good enough that I knew it was no accident. That's why I found it saddening :-(
