“Hopefully”?

I don’t subscribe to faith-based regulatory systems.

We’re debating what the rule should be in the first place. (So far as I’m aware, we’re still allowed to do that.) If it’s not a rule in the first place, it can’t be ‘bent’ and no one needs to ‘let you off’.

I’m expressing the view that the law should not make it mandatory to declare a mayday when a pilot calculates that he or she will land with less than required minimum reserves. You may have a different view.
