Well, let's just say some people are very schooled in the law and in the practice there of.
One should consider Dr Who revived and his advice as it is very prudent indeed.  
This is a funny post for those who know. Some people legally trained have seen foolish people actually believe some of this nonsense. We have all heard it. In the following hypothetical consider: "Are you a cop" or, someone told me the IRS can't do this or that." Or "my friend said this or that was legal." The problem was the "my friend" giving the advice was in jail right next to him.  
A better use of one's time might be to work and create higher incomes than take all this time over silly unlawful tax deductions. Ask Wesley Snipes whether or not he would take on the IRS again.  His case involved major money.  Here, where the deduction could be a tiny, yet unlawful, tax savings, some would suggest DON"T DO IT.  Sun Tzu, in the Art of War warned,(Paraphrased) "If you don't know your enemy and you don't know yourself, you will always be slaughtered.  
Some are acutely aware that many will disregard Dr. Who Revived's input. That makes for good business in some professions. my 2 cent
