"Law" that is never promulgated--i.e., is never made known to the public--is not really law, and is not binding on the conscience. A law that is so complex that it is by its very nature incomprehensible is IN PRINCIPLE incapable of being promulgated. Thus, it is by its very nature not binding on the conscience. It should be obeyed, and will be obeyed, only out of fear of the police.
