So if I don't want to pay for my meal at a restuarant I should be able to just walk out without paying since I never intended to do so in the first place?
Maybe bank robbers should be allowed to rob banks since they never intend to abide by the law anyways. Or maybe rapists should be able to rape since they aren't going to stop raping. Maybe crack should be legal since crack addicts will smoke crack no matter what.
