[btsychoi] Exponentially deceptive legal document

Create a legal document, e.g., a contract, for which determining if it is evil takes effort exponential in the length of the document.

Combination of distant seemingly innocuous individual clauses.

Computational complexity class NP means the party which knows the evil combination can easily exercise them without legally breaking the letter of the document.

Perhaps obfuscated patent.
