I disagree with the none of your explanation pertaining to the magazine and the product code.
There is a larger problem here pertaining to regulations as law. When the volume of the body of regulations that have the force of law exceeds the ability of normal people to comprehend them and a specialist is required to give the right answer, it no longer has the character of law. Ideally, the character of law should be a rule we all know about and with which we can comply without a lot of study. Laws against murdering people and against speeding have that character.
Here we have several people of above average intelligence who are generally interested in the topic, yet none of us address it with certainty. That is not ideal.
