This is the case for most “Dumb laws”: there’s an outlier that becomes kinda silly, but it’s not really worth the effort to change.
I saw one “It’s illegal to hunt Blue Whales in Idaho”. Because it’s illegal to hunt endangered species in Idaho, and Blue Whales are endangered, not because legislators were super concerned about saving Idaho’s whale population.
It’s because all the packages have the same domestic weight limit.
Seems silly, but makes sense in the context.

Makes for good clickbait, heh.
