I think that without a functioning rule of law, you cannot say that the law about Kim being eternal ruler will have any particular effect and so wouldn’t necessarily lead to his being thawed and reinstated. Not being bound in any way by the law refutes the part of polymathwannabe’s conclusion about what would happen “if they want to follow the spirit of the law.”
Yes, I see what you are saying. But if we interpret /u/polymathwannabe a little more charitably, we might steelman the claim thus:
The Kim dynasty’s dogma is that Grandpa Kim is the eternal ruler of the country. That corpse is beyond recovery now, but given the continuation of the Kim dynasty, they might want to store the present Kim in order to safeguard the once and future Kim.
This interpretation focuses less on the law, but it still gets /u/polymathwannabe’s point across.
