If I'm required to put "the surgeon general has determined that smoking causes cancer" on the cigarettes I sell, then I'm required to put that message there.

I am not following that law if I add "but the surgeon general is a stupid head" right after that. Or "but smoking is totally cool in Europe."

I have plenty of other avenues in which I can try to persuade people that the surgeon general is a mean poopy head that they should ignore.

It's insulting to pretend not to understand this, which is also how the judge feels.
