I wasn't going to stretch it beyond that. I don't think we have a legal system designed for understanding by non-lawyers. I'm not trying to suggest nefarious intent on the part of lawyers, but I think there's some cause and effect rather than pure coincidence. As legal fields and legal study get more specialized, I think the law gets further and further away from the experience of non-lawyers. That's all.
