If the company views negotiating a contract or an LOA as a challenge to see if they can slip a loophole into the language or mask their true intent with a particular section's language then I think it's impossible to trust them at all. How can we call what we're doing negotiating when it seems like all we really do is try to minimize opportunities for the company to exploit whatever language ends up being "final".
