didnt some religion have a concept where since they believe god infallible, any loophole in the rules must therefore be intended, possibly as a reward for the cleverness of finding it? I forget which one that was

Pretty common among Jewish scholars.

I like the one where 4 rabbis are arguing 3-1 against each other and god tells them that the 1 guy is right and they respond with “Well that’s 2-3.”

That whole religion, especially the Kabbalah part, is super interesting to me, but it is just so dense that it’s hard to get into.
