Precisely. The average sane, level headed person intuitively knows the meaning of words as intended.
It's only insane, unhinged, agenda driven zealots who make mental gymnastics out of the perfectly understandable. Because their minds aren't grounded in reality, they have to twist reality to fit their warped misunderstanding of it.
Now, law should be written precisely so that manipulative hacks can't make pleas on technicalities, or just so that there aren't reasonable disagreements stemming from imprecise language.
But the law is undoubtedly written to be confusing. It's not the legalese per se, it's the sheer massive network of laws on the books, many of which are purposefully vague so as the leave them open to interpretation and specifically designed to contradict each other. All so lawyers can wage legal warfare upon law abiding citizens and let their pet crooks off scott free.
It's not the language that requires simplification. The books just need to be revised. i.e.: heavily truncated.
