I think of the Law of One as a philosophy, first and foremost. That, of course, doesn't prevent people from turning it into dogma, as is the case with almost anything that one forms an emotional attachment to.
I think what inherently sets this philosophy apart, and that is also a safeguard, is that the First Distortion is referenced as the Law of Free Will.
If the Free Will of the self is recognised in oneself, then it can be recognised in others, and then we get to the situation where co-operation, dialogue, and freedom of expression can be the means of interaction; rather than a system of rules which apply to everyone, no matter the circumstances.
I've met Jim and Carla in person, and they are great people. But I don't inherently see them as being any different from you or I.
