Mmmh. Then 90% at least of law texts are poorly written, if one should 
judge by the number of suits based on interpretation of each and every one.
I'd rather say no definition is perfect, and their precision is limited by 
the degree of complexity we want tu put into them. In the"general" section, 
I'd accept that said degree remain mild.

Best regards
