No one noticed the first time around, either?

The bare wording of the statute is only one part of the fact pattern. In order to know what, if anything, has been done with the statute, how it has (or has not) been applied — in other words, WHAT it means — one has to know whether prosecutors have used it and HOW, and how prosecutorial interpretation has fared in court.
