  • It needs to be specific to be clear for its purposes. You can express everything in simpler terms but then you risk leaving things out of definitions. It’s basically legal speak.

    Normally, you’d read the scope of such a document to see whether it fits your purpose, then cherry-pick the chapters necessary. If something’s unclear, you can google pretty much everything.

    And yes, news can be really unreliable - on purpose or just out of mistakes. Gotta always keep that in mind as well, but it also reeeally depends on the particular media company.
