You have hit upon the problem.  We have way to many damned lawyers and MBAs.
These are the geeks that write the laws and interpret them.  They get so
caught up in the complexity of their laws that the rest of us have a difficult
time deciphering them.  All of you lawyers and MBA types feel free to flame,
I'm a soon to be Petroleum Engineer (UT Austin '88).  What we need are more
engineers who know how to make things work, not a bunch of marketing and
"legalese" idiots.
