-{{a|devil|[[File:Secret sauce.jpg|450px|thumb|center]]}}[[Legal eagle]]s ''love'' the idea that standard, [[boilerplate]], tedious terms that make up the lion’s share of commercial legal discourse should be regarded as a common utility; a free public resource, and not some secret sauce that keeps battalions of [[legal eagle]]s in well-paid but soul-destroying work. Everyone — not just lawyers, come to think of it — likes to believe herself special, privy to something critical; dangerous; ''delicate'' — information that, should it fall into the wrong hands, may wreak great ill upon its owner or the poor unsuspecting random.

+If we were to see the [[Boilerplate Anatomy|standard facilitating text]] by which our clients tether their fortunes to each other not as a kind of magic, but as a free, common, public ''resource'' this would ''not'' put battalions of [[legal eagle]]s out of work, which seems to be their operating assumption.
+Far from it: it would allow the legal eagles to take their building blocks as read, and concentrate on ''valuable'' work.
+[[OneNDA]] is a brave adventure along this road. Wonder where it will lead?
