In it's infinite wisdom the gov't has decided that even if you read
back the wrong information and the controller does not correct it you,
the PIC, are responsible if subsequently violate airspace, or crash,
etc.


Actually, it hasn't. What the government decided was that if you read back
a clearance meant for another aircraft and the controller doesn't hear your
readback because your transmission was blocked by the transmission from the
proper aircraft then you, the PIC, are responsible for any loss of
separation, airspace bust, crash, etc., due to your error.
