I suppose that's true, but the aim of the system he's talking about isn't concerned with whether it's easier or harder to break the law. It's concerned with efficient traffic flow. That is, his prescriptions are aimed at making traffic flow better whether people are obeying the law or not.
You can argue whether his proposed rules actually would have that effect or not. You might argue that this will lead to more high-speed accidents which would actually result in more large-scale delay, for example. But the morality and legality question is a separate issue.
I don't want to put words in Enoch's mouth, but I'm pretty sure he'd agree that regardless of how easy or hard it is to break traffic laws, people shouldn't break traffic laws.

That's a good area to focus on and Cliff's post did an excellent job of outlining why it doesn't work. On a day like yesterday, there is simply too much overall traffic, regardless of speed for the left lane to be used exclusively or even primarily for passing.
So what is right, is in part situational and needs common sense applied.
