There is a very good reason we want legal questions to be completely decidable - if they're not, people can't be sure ahead of time if they're breaking the law, which makes it ethically very problematic to actually enforce that law. ("You broke the law, and we're going to fine you." "But it was impossible to know that it was against the law!" "...")
