In the legal case precision is everything. Just ask Sparteye. Someone's life can hang on a distiction we poor mortals consider semantic nit-picking. ~ faldage
"The legal theories are not inapplicable in the broadest sense of the word to fast food." ~ a law school professor
If precision can be the determinate of life or death by the law, thank God that this law school professor is tucked away in law school and not practicing at the bench.
The professor's sentence has no hidden arcane legal reason for being vague and poorly constructed, the professor sentence is just that- vague and poorly constructed.
Follow the semantics...
"The legal theories...(theories, for goodness sake)
are not inapplicable...(academia hedgehoging)
in the broadest sense of the word...(this is bullshit)
to fast food...(very good professor, we all know what constitutes "fast foods".)
Today the lawyers around us, i.e. the government, have a empire built on words rather than justice, it's a bit of a shame that the self-professed "lovers of words", i.e. us, give deference to these jerks.
