In other words: The same argument could be made for virtually any other form of non-violent criminality: It's too hard to follow the rules; the Kafkaesque system is too complicated to understand / follow; it's unfair to expect people to deal with a "torturous bureaucracy."
Bottom line: It's just as difficult and frustrating for us legal citizens (to "fight City Hall"), so get used to it!

Your substitutions are good ones.
Your conclusion is terrible. The tax code is a prime example of laws so complicated that no person could ever really know if they are in compliance or not.
Laws that are too complicated for the average person to understand are a particularly insidious form of tyranny which should be the object of repulsion, not a touchstone for how things should work.
