The longer a negotiation continues, the more complicated and tedious the contract will become, even though its meaningful content will stay constant or, more likely, decline.
+{{g}}{{a|negotiation|}}Once known as the [[anal paradox]] Otto Büchstein’s theory of {{tag|negotiation}} has since become recognised as the [[JC]]’s [[ninth law of worker entropy]] — a numerical challenge since it well predates the first eight, and indeed forms the basis for one or two of them. {{ninth law of worker entropy}}
+The [[ninth law of worker entropy]] posits that ,as the number of people involved in negotiating a {{tag|contract}} goes up, the contract’s brevity, comprehensibility and utility ''goes down''. Therefore longer a negotiation continues, the more compendious and ''[[tedious]]'' will the fruit of that negotiation — the [[verbiage]], in the vernacular— become, even though its meaningful content will stay constant or, more likely, decline.
 Briefly stated, however anal it may be to “[[Adding value|add value]]” through qualifications, clarifications, [[for the avoidance of doubt]]s, [[without limitation]]s and other forensic {{f|celery}}, once these “correctives” have been made it is even ''more'' anal to try to remove them again, seeing as, [[Q.E.D.]], they make no difference to the legal or economic [[substance]] of the agreement either way. So, inevitably, one won’t [[I’m not going to die in a ditch about it|die in a ditch about it]], however appealing by comparison that experience might, to a [[prose stylist]], seem, and the agreement will silt up to the point where its original intent is hard or impossible to make out.
