It doesn't only happen in software. How many of us have bought a house or car,
been handed multiple double-sided legal sized pages of fine print, been told
to initial here, here, here, here, here, and here, and sign here" and obeyed.

How many of us even read the last paragraph before the signature?  The one
that says,
   "I have read and understood this document and have received a copy."

What, you read that paragraph?  So you were lying when you signed it?
Or you read 5,000 words per minute?
