I don't see how you get philosopher king out of my statement. I think it's a pragmatic view. A philosopher king view is one which says we can solve this or that problem by rationality. I'm saying we need to give the law space to develop and fit into the system, then reevaluate what works and what doesn't after some period of years. That's empiricism, the opposite of strict rationality.
