One problem with your argument (from a political perspective) is that it undermines the entire system of mandatory disclosures (for drug warnings, investor relations, real estate, etc.). Accepting this argument means that all the (many) disclosure-based lawsuits and regulatory actions taken against companies are blatantly unjust, as they are based on the idea that consumers can and should read lengthy, confusing documents.

I should add that despite what people here are saying, the complexity of the wording is usually driven by legal requirements, not a desire to confuse people.
