I find it somewhat sad that law is basically a guild where arcane language is used to gatekeep what should be a much more straightforward exercise.


It's not. It's the equivalent of saying "I can do this better" and producing unreliably, buggy code. Sure you can, but a more experienced professional can point out all the corner cases you missed.


Then when it fails, you blame the programming language rather than your experience in programming.

Hahaha, actually at some point in the future, I suspect 25 years or so, our programming guild will likely have taken over and replace the legal guild.

I mean, if you pay attention to the names of the kernel API functions, you'd probably end up with the same conclusion.
