Dear John
If we cannot distinguish SP from SPT because SP is called using SPT, I'm afraid this is not the sort of discussion I have time for. Professional argument requires that intended and obvious meaning be pursued rather than dredging for possibilities to disrupt or obfuscate.
As for the rest, you continue to paraphrase and translate imaginatively as an argument style. I'm not one of your law student friends, can we be a bit more productive?

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
