"No, deeds aren't cryptic at all. Anyone with a few hours of training can
learn to read them. Any two people can read the same deed and agree which plot
of ground it denotes, and what the boundaries of that plot ARE."

Clearly, you have never read a deed. --from a point 37 yards from a marker
stone at the north west corner of the plot divided from the parcel bequeathed to
E.L. Johnston after the land grant of 1874 and 217 yard from the center point of
the south east edge of the parcel of the Old Stone Chruch of Trimark
County....omg good luck to ya....

Any two people can read a patent claim and agree what the boundaries are,
unless one of them cares what the boundaries are, then every word is associated
with a vague boundary of its own.... just as where exactly that marker stone is
and where the center point of the south east edge is...

And that is what is completely NOT true about software patents. Can you imagine
two large teams of lawyers arguing three weeks about whether a particular hiker
trespassed on a particular property? But that is not only conceivable but normal
for patent suits.


Absolutely! Hikers never accidentally wander over an international boarder into
Iran from Afghanistan or anything.

See also :the argument above.
