I agree with the following statement:
"This case is an exception to the legal principle ignorantia legis non excusat: the ignorance of the law is not a suitable excuse for breaking it."
I disagree with the premise:
Because it deals with the motives (or lack thereof) for committing a crime, the case addresses mens rea, the degree of legal culpability that arises from the motivation of a criminal.
I'm editing the premise to state the following, and we can scrap out this matter:
"Because it deals with the 'wholly passive' absence of knowledge of a law." Dennis Blewett ( talk) 17:26, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
