This is a rational and intelligent interpretation. The intent is satisfied with a good result.

An example of a rule or law that could be overinterpreted is the double line in the center of a road which we all know means "no passing." Does it mean "no passing", ever, in any conceivable circumstance? No. As I am told by reasonable law enforcement folks in my community, if you are behind a stopped garbage truck or mail vehicle, you can certainly pass if you can do so safely. Safety is the purpose of that law. 100% literal compliance in every instance is innane. It is reasonable to apply the same logic to other rules. If the purpose is respected and a good result is achieved, a literal, absolutist interpretation isn't always appropriate.
