The looser interpretation of the law created a multimember executive whereas the strict interpretation created a one-person executive. This filling in of the blanks creates an appropriate and meaningful sentence. Laws may be open to various interpretations. If "person" was thought to be a singular physical person, that would give rise to a strict interpretation for the purposes of the law and a "one-person executive". Operational definitions are important, and "person" could be interpreted as an "entity" or a "collective" in which case the looser interpretation of a law would be at play to create the "multi-member executive".
