I still think that the fact lawyers are a legally-mandated-to-be-credentialed profession is grounds to reinstate the validity of the ignorance defense. Because the entire basis of its removal was "well you can read the law, can't you?", and yet now it's become so bloated that in many places it is illegal to give your understanding to it to another unless you have undertaken an extensive specialized education.
"If the general public does not even vaguely realize the law is a thing, it is automatically annulled" would quite quickly vaporize bureaucratic bloat, would it not?
