To behold [[boilerplate]] is to witness [[marginal utility]] at the point it touches zero. [[Legal]] [[negotiation]] is the dreary formality one must go through ''to get to the heart of the deal''. The same goes for that ISDA schedule — yes, friends, the whole god-forsaken thing, even the customised {{isdaprov|ATE}}s. No-one ''cares''. No-one ''likes'' it. No-one ''wants'' it. It is a regrettable externality; a grim fact of life. It is not the sausages; it is [[Ask nicely|the mask you need to go into the supermarket]] so you can ''get'' the sausages.
