Now as you all know the [[Jolly Contrarian]] doesn’t like to generalise, but — okay, okay, the [[JC]] ''loves'' to generalise, I admit it — but, [[tax lawyer]]s really are, uniformly, and consistently, a bit weird. But weird in a ''good'' way. ''They'' are weird so ''we'' don’t have to be. They’re weird in the same way ninjas<ref>Real Japanese ninjas, that is, not ironically labelled [[ISDA ninja|ISDA ninjas]] though, come to think of it, we [[ISDA ninja]]s are a bit weird too.</ref> are a bit weird — that any people who have devoted their lives to the selfless pursuit of any kind of esoteric knowledge are a bit weird. It takes a weird sort of personality to devote your life to imputation credits and so on, after all. | Now as you all know the [[Jolly Contrarian]] doesn’t like to generalise, but — okay, okay, the [[JC]] ''loves'' to generalise, I admit it — but, [[tax lawyer]]s really are, uniformly, and consistently, a bit weird.

In a rare example of archetype congruity, ''all'' tax lawyers are [[subject matter expert]]s, and ''all'' tax lawyers are [[tax ninja]]s. This is because no-one who ''isn’t'' a tax lawyer can bear the prospect of getting close enough to the topic to know whether a professed tax lawyer in fact knows what she is talking about, far less care, and as such there is no means of determining what a given tax position is other than asking a tax lawyer — any tax lawyer — to tell you, and thereafter it cannot be gainsaid. | |||
The famous counter-intuitivity of tax law — how nothing seems to make any sense to the laity, however hard they can bear to look at it — is indicative, in the alternative, of the following facts: <br> | |||
:(i) any understanding of tax law requires an ineffable [[ninja]]dom that cannot be apprehended, much less appreciated by anyone else; ergo tax expertise is somehow Godly and pure; or <br> | |||
:(ii) tax law is an total shower and anyone who claims expertise in tax matters is an outright charlatan. There is no God; to the contrary we are not just ''close'' to the [[abyss]] that yawns away below the [[Elephants and turtles|turtles]], but staring directly ''at'' it. | |||
