Here's the thing about lawyers: they don't write to communicate. Lawyers are like programmers, their code doesn't 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. -- John Shade, ``Shady Illuminations'', PragPub #43, January 2013 http://pragprog.com/magazines/2013-01/shady-illuminations
