Bottom line is that a jury can do what it pleases. It is not bound by any order or oath. The jury room is absolutely sacrosanct. Its decisions are its own.
From the rules of the jury which you noted:
"DO JURORS HAVE THE RIGHT OR JUST THE POWER TO JUDGE THE LAW ITSELF?
(1) They have both. They have the power, because (a) no one can tell the jury what verdict it must reach, nor restrict what goes on in jury-room deliberations; (b) no one can punish jurors for the verdict they bring in; (c) jurors cant be forced to explain themselves or otherwise account for their decisions; and (d) a verdict of not guilty cannot be appealed by the government.
The jury is bound by nothing.
Juries are bound to support our Constitution, as are we all.

From that same site, which you agree is authoritative:
Juries cannot create a law, abolish a law, set precedent, or declare a law to be unconstitutional. These remain the province of the legislature or courts of record, respectively.
There is no argument here that -- JURORS HAVE THE RIGHT OR JUST THE POWER TO JUDGE THE LAW ITSELF.
It's agreed, they have both.
