I like to think Kurt Gödel had some important observations in this  
regard.

One of the things I see as a lawyer and as a student in philosophy is  
the attempt in the GFDL to cover every possible use case with  
specificity -- this effort is not wholly incomparable to the effort to  
explain all of mathematics in terms of logic and set theory.
