The anal paradox is a theory of negotiation. It proposes that as the number of people involved in negotiating a contract increases the contract’s brevity, and comprehensibility and utility ''decreases''. The [[anal paradox]] predicts that the longer a negotiation continues, the more complicated the agreement will become, even though its meaningful content will stay constant or, more likely, decline.

Briefly stated, however anal it may be to add qualifications, clarifications, [[for the avoidance of doubt]]s, [[without limitation]]s and other forensic {{f|celery}} and {{tag|flannel}}, once these additions have been added, it is even ''more'' anal to request their removal again, seeing as, [[Q.E.D.]], it would make no difference to the legal or economic substance of the agreement if you did. So, inevitably, one doesn’t [[I’m not going to die in a ditch about it|die in a ditch about it]], however appealing by comparison that might, to a [[prose stylist]], seem.
