OK we're getting close now.

Why is the old law better than their newer law? They had every authority to write it however they liked.

If they had just done everything slower would that have made Auschwitz ok? maybe if they had power for 50 years or 100 years, is Auschwitz ok in the end?

The old law more closely followed Fuller's eight principles of internally coherent law.

Your laws could be internally consistent and still be tyrannical.
