If you as a Director gives an advice for an action that is in conflict with
the laws then you violate Law 81B2. 

The consequence of such an advice is that a player acting according to it
cannot be penalized for his possible infraction of the laws nor can he be
subject to an adverse score adjustment. Instead his consequential infraction
must be resolved under Law 82C "considering both sides as non-offending for
that purpose".

I think you should accept that an advice from a Director very well can be
illegal, and refrain from starting another discussion on that question.

> Yet Richard can call me illegal and unlawful without anyone objecting?

On the contrary I shall join him if the cause is that you give advices
conflicting with the laws.
