<<As far as lawyers trying to make "legal terms as
unambiguous as possible", that's just laughable, and
you really do need to read Gaddis's _Frolic_.>>
Calling it laughable doesn't make it so. You're
arguing like Millison. Signing one's name to a
binding contract gives one new and visceral
appreciation for the specificities of legal
terminology.
Citing "Frolic" is a sure winner on this board, but
adds no weight to the point you're making. You really
do need to read Holmes or Brandeis or Hand.
