Because they are necessarily negotiated in the abstract, there are any number of ''hypothetical'' ditches — for this sort of thing, the [[legal eagle]] has an unrivalled imagination — but since there is no actual transaction in the offing; it is a purely conceptual project — all ditches are infinitely far away, none poses any risk of ever coming closer, so every member will therefore be prepared to die in every one. | The [[JC]] is working on a theory that — no doubt, among other things — this may explain why the output of industry-crafted standard forms is so hideous.
