too much care was given to this mat

should suffice.
But Mr.. Sato, who had been listening
quietly, now interrupted.
"Plain statements suffice" he said,
when it is to no ones interest to twist
them about, to nisinterpret them.
Wills, legal documents and treaties
must be more than plain statements
They must be ironbound. And, when
anyone attempts to impugn them
