If somebody violated the CC License of anything I produced, I'd be in
the court room arguing on the basis of the Legal Code.  Any usage that
somebody claimed was legit under the Human Readable Code, would be
covered by showing where, and how the legal code differs from the
Human Readable Code, and that the Human Readable Code is not part of
the license.

I've only recently started putting a pointer to my understanding of
the Legal Code, on the copyright page of my material.  I also
(recently started to) include an explicit statement that the Human
Readable Code is not part of the license, and whatever it says is
irrelevant to the license.
