Would a smart refactor help, turning the hypothetical complex monolith into many simple systems that interact through clearly defined interfaces and can be easily reasoned about in isolation

You can't refactor inherent complexity away. You can only remove unnecessary complexity. A million simple systems is still just a complex monolith.

1/ I am an attorney and obviously biased but I think the statement “corner cases make bad law” needs to be unpacked. I propose the following as an example of a “corner case” — shitty horrible person who wants to hold a rally to promote shitty horrible ideas.

2/ Reasonable reaction = “wtf kind of shitty system allows this to happen? This is a crappy horrible law if it means this reprehensible person can spew vile hate.” Attorney reaction = this is reasonable at the first order level but not when you consider 2nd order effects
