Agree that it’s possible to have small amounts of code describing very complex things, and I said originally, it’s certainly partly spaghetti towers. However, to expand on my example, for something like a down-and-in European call option, I can give you a two line equation for the payout, or a couple lines of easily understood python code with three arguments (strike price, min price, final price) to define the payout, but it takes dozens of pages of legalese instead.
My point was that the legal system contains lots of that type of what I’d call fake complexity, in addition to the real complexity from references and complex requirements.
