You can't.  It's largely and exercise in autoerotism on the part of the
lawyers but, as they have fun with themselves, employees of mindless
large corporations are forced to comply because "we know less about the
law" that those fat asses in offices unless we can prove ourselves.  In
the case of something like this, you stand no chance against the
mindless morons in legal.

True story...  One of my security articles was run past a corporate
lawyer.  I E-Mail the authoritative markup to legal.  He has a secretary
print it out for him to read in hard copy.  He then marked it up with a
read pen (mostly bitching about cosmetic issues and gramatic style - all
of which I told them to screw themselves over) and then had his
secretary scan the bloody thing back in as a PDF for me to read.
Yeah...  Right...  That resulted in a flash of light and mushroom cloud
on the horizon.  Words were said that shall not be repeated in mixed
company.  After I was done, he no longer reviewed researchers' papers.
But not everyone had my kind of clout.

Generally the case...  Legally worthless but scratches their itch and
makes people (mostly executives) think they are accomplishing something
legitimate.
