The Scottish Clan Societies are no way the "equivalent of a modern clan system".
Because though the twa gentlemen have, I assume, accurately stated the "letter of the law," it does not IN MY OPINION give an accurate picture of the reality of how things are working with the so called "clans" IN MY OWN EXPERIENCE. So while the "letter of the law" is technically true, the "spirit of the law" is what is the reality, more or less anyway and if I've not misused that analogy... I'm certainly not a lawyer. You are of course most welcome to disagree, but without a case study to the contrary I'm not moved by your statement to change my opinion (if that was your aim...?).
