"All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact,
barely presentable."
-- Fran Lebowitz
HereâÂÂs the thing about lawyers: they donâÂÂt write to communicate. Lawyers
are like programmers, their code doesnâÂÂt have to be human-readable. It may
even be deliberately obfuscated. It just has to run on the target system and
produce the desired outcome. In the case of terms-of-use language, the target
system is the courts, and the desired outcome is income.
