Personally, I think "nothing Wonko has ever done broke a rule" is a bit of a simplification, if not totally incorrect.  E's been on the losing side of more than one CFI, and a few of eir actions have indeed been thrown out by Mr. A because they didn't comply with the rules.  In some other cases, it is my opinion that things e did bent rules in directions they weren't meant to be bent, so that if e ever got into court over it e'd need a grammar teacher more than a lawyer.

On the other hand, what you say is technically correct, if we use the reality model that says illegal actions don't happen; that would mean that anything Wonko did that did break a rule, e didn't actually do.  But then, one could say that about any of us, couldn't we?  "So are we all honorable men."
