Carl,
We who have been around a while need to understand who we are trying to educate.
Your point is valid, and those of us who have evaluated contracts before understand how bad that is. But we are dealing with two groups of people: the "I gotta feed my family" even if it takes food out of your mouth folks, and the newbies who don't know any better.
I respectfully suggest you spend some time explaining to the newbies why said section is so horrendous. If you do, at least the smart ones will understand. Your post was like when I asked my Dad how to spell a word, and he said look it up. Really, it is no help. Some of these folks are like children. We need to educate them. We can lead them to water.... but it is better if we explain why they shouldn't die of thirst.
As for the "gotta feed my family" folks, they just don't get that there will always be somebody who will work for less and scream "I gotta feed my family"..... at least until THEY are undercut.
