Sarcastic or not, "contract by code" and "lawyers are obsolete" are, in reality, major selling points used by Ethereum evangelists. The OP's post gives an opportunity to discuss this.

I did not assign any assertion or position to the OP, only followed up on his thread about the potential ramifications that ETH backers seriously advocate.

Poe's law: Sufficiently advanced satire is indistinguishable from fanatical confusion.

And many people do promote the "code is law, and nothing else" idea -- at least Ethereum Classic stuck to it!

Except the "code is law" meme is a view that many crypto anarchists actually espouse.

Perhaps they were simply elaborating on the sarcasm on account of the fact that sarcasm does a shit job of justifying or explaining anything.
