Laws get lawyer'd. The main 3 are to be followed in spirit ('cuz they have to be perfect even when they aren't), but all other laws are subject to scrutiny.
If it didn't happen in 2011 then it's just because everybody is copying the first person with brains to figure out 'override' actually means 'override'.
This is why I rarely mess with AI laws unless I:
a) Base the law around the main 3 - "Law X doesn't exist", "Only naked people are human", etc.
b) Insert a law that I know borgs want to follow - "Spare time should be dedicated to building the butt shrine", "Do horrible but specific thing X"
c) Don't care - "This law overrides all other laws that override all other laws, this law overrides all other laws."
