Baudzilla, your theory of Purposeful Ignorance only applies if you are judged to be someone who should be familiar with that sort of thing. It’s a highly subjective thing, but if you’re an attorney who knows better then you need to read everything you sign. Similarly, if you’re a dentist that’s going to another dentist for work, you should be knowledgeable enough to understand the written contract and are thus responsible for reading it.
But if you’re just some nobody who comes in once or twice a year for a cleaning, have no experience with dentistry or reading or writing legal documents, the court can’t possibly find you at fault for not understanding what you’ve signed. It’s the same way a EULA has no legal bearing whatsoever.
Of course, that’s all totally dependent on which judge you’re standing in front of at the time. Which only reinforces the ridiculousness of the whole system.
