[Ads-l] Garbage language, corporate-speak, bloated business jargon

[Dan Goncharoff]

I read the language differently. The reference to "parallel-path"
recognizes that there is a process to producing a formal document, and the
request is to push both versions through the process. It's more complicated
than "produce two versions".

When life is complicated, sometimes simple language is less clear.
