Reading my posts, you certainly noticed that I did not claim that a "code of conduct" is some kind of "code of law" by definition. I spoke about associations and connotations. If a language's dictionary contains the entries "code" and "code of foo", then of course there is an association of the two entries. And simply by how the human brain processes language, it will consciously or unconsciously create a connotation. In any case, you are not more native speaker than I. So, unless they will be backed up by a bunch of native speakers, I don't see a reason to find your assertions convincing.
