So that leaves a lawyer to understand the difference? Here’s the secret they don’t want you to know: law does not follow logic. Law does not follow common sense. Law employs its own method of reasoning to protect the status quo.

Either that or I procrastinate too much then do half-assed work. What’s the logical explanation? What’s the reasonable explanation?
