The attraction of legalism is that, despite all its complexity, it's mindless. It requires little or no personal engagement. It's sheer mechanics, simple arithmetic. You just follow orders. It's like paint-by-numbers: it requires no artistry, no imagination, no discipline, just dumb, methodical obedience.
