   Yup.  Plausible deniability.  When you're sitting there wondering 
about how company XYZ screwed you, they can say "well, we told you 
about it, right here in this fine print!"  ...but if you missed it due 
to all the whiz-bang distractions, that's your problem.

   Absolutely.  Dude, there are crime gangs, five dollar whores, and 
middle-eastern dictators who are too honest for business in the 21st 
century.
