True of legalese in contracts, but also Law in general has multiplied like Gremlins.

Hammurabi's code of laws, was written in common language, and was brief enough every subject could understand them.

It makes no sense that we should be subject to a volume of law that we could never even read, let alone understand.

Musk is correct in insisting that laws should expire, and it should be easier to remove a law than add one. Minimum Viable Law.

Long ago lay people had no idea what the bible said because they could not read Latin. Well lawyers are the new priests, legalese is the new Latin.
