Search through document for a long ass list of keywords to find large amounts of scummy bullshit hidden within meaningless fluff bullshit. Alternative terminology potentially ensues for making it more confusing.

That does not sound quick at all

Nope lol. It's basically a wall of text explaining how to skim a different wall of text to see if you are being legalese'd. Nothing about it is quick for people that can't/don't already have some degree of speed reading or skimming ability.
