Sure that could be part of it, learning the laws is certainly part of getting your ham ticket.

But let's step back from a less snoody POV, and view it from another angle.

In your own home, it's fully legal to experiment with RF if you have a ham ticket, provided you don't cause destructive interference to _others_.

Jamming yourself, is like hacking your own wifi, you are not technically interfering with communication. Under the rules that you are allowed to manufacturer your own RF equipment provided you don't cause destructive interference with authorized transmission.
