Incluso: Difference between revisions

A well crafted [[incluso]] will drag into contemplation items which no ordinary reading of the general principle could possibly have anticipated.

===Boss moves===

*'''The nested incluso''': A seasoned practitioner will enjoy the ''nested'' incluso, where one redundant elucidation is embedded into another:

::''“the Client shall pay the Bank’s costs of enforcement ([[including, without limitation]], filing fees, the costs of realisation of collateral and professional fees ([[including, without limitation]], those of its legal, accounting, tax and other advisors) ...)”''

:Here we can see at once that this way a rabbit-hole lies, and down it the theoretical possibility of an unbroken chain of ever-smaller [[incluso]]s, stretching out into an infinite panoply of parenthetical asides; a kind of [[fractal]] geometry of scale-invariant pointlessness, whose existence in this universe is only really hindered by the outright fear that, far from the sky falling on one’s head, instead you might inadvertently have warped the very fabric of semantic space itself, in a wy which could swallow you up and regurgitate you in some remote corner of the lexiverse as a spume of incandescent flannel.  

*'''The [[provuso]]''': The sign of a true legal master is the [[provuso|prov''u''so]], which is an amalgam of a [[proviso]] and an [[incluso]], a device by which one states a general principle, then caveats it so comprehensively that the end result bears no correlation at all with the originally intended. This is a way of weaselling your counterparty ''into'' a ''whole new obligation'', that neither party possibly could have had in mind when discussing the original trade, while at the same time yourself wriggling out of your basic economic commitment.
