Precedence. Basically, at one point in time, a judge said "You win, because 
you said Yibba Yabbo Yo".  From then on, all the lawyers will use the same 
terminology.  That is, for example, why all the EULAs have the lack of 
warranty in UPPER CASE. Because at one point someone argued that they didn't 
notice it, and the judge said "How could you miss it? It was in upper case!"
