LOL. Would you like to apply this generally, e.g. as in “The principle of Rule of Law is a bad idea because it’s an invitation to gaming the laws. Much better to have a tyrant...err… benevolent philosopher-king decide matters because it’s harder to game him”.
I favor more of a polycentric legal system. Call on someone agreeable to all parties to solve disputes when they happen on a mostly case-by-case basis with some generally agreed guidelines.
The mono- or polycentricity of the legal system doesn’t have much to do with the Rule of Law, aka how hard the rules are. If the rules are soft and are bent on a regular basis, it doesn’t matter how many people are doing the bending.
