Ugh, so we’re not to question the lawyers now and just trust them?  I
know, you said it before, they’re the experts.  That doesn’t mean
everyone should just shut up.  If there’s one thing the non‐experts are
good at, it’s finding holes, the ones the experts don’t think of because
they are used to doing things a certain way.  Ask the experts a
question, they give an answer, they may even have to think about it, and
that’s when they start to question themselves—“why is it like this?”—and
improve their own understanding.
