I believe that Socrtease is talking about the legality, not the actual immenence of danger. Basically they are saying, "This is how the law interprets it."
Yes, and Im shifting the argument slightly to avoid admitting he's right.
It is whacked if true. The dictator can send swat teams down on the people, pour burning oil on them etc. because he doesn't know who they are individually, but any talk against the dictator is outlawed because everyone knows his name. This is an irrational legal position which protects powerful individuals, but leaves people in general unprotected.
