Well.
There are many legal cases that have hinged on just a single word or whether there is a comma present in a law or contract.
Words mean things, especially in laws, and if the law is being complied with to the letter, even if not in the spirit, then you'll have to change the law to remove the loophole.
That's like giving someone a ticket for doing 1mph less than the speed limit, because they whilst they are obeying the letter of the law, you have decided they are gaming the system to avoid getting a speeding fine.

Sounds watertight, to the letter.
They’ll have to rewrite the exemption. You can get a telling off in the headmaster’s office for not respecting the spirit of the rules, but you can’t be done for not respecting the spirit of the law. The law has neither spirit nor soul.
