Incredibly strict?!
Guy #1 - Hey, wanna fight?
Guy #2 - Ok.
Yep...its a veritable labyrinth of legal technicalities.
And society officially condones it...hence it is not illegal even if we think it is not really worth much as a behaviour.
You and the group of people you associate with may look down on it (and you would hardly be alone) but that is precisely what condone means:

Police might arrest you - temporarily to stop you. But its not illegal so then you get let go. Sort of like getting a penalty in a hockey fight I guess.
