I couldn't agree more. Having had more than my fair share of dealings with lawyers, they are the very last people you want involved in aircraft certification. It was bad enough when we needed to run some of our communications with the operators past the legal types. Did you know that throttle cables don't 'break' or 'fail' - they 'separate'? Engines don't catch fire, they experience "rapid oxidation"? I could go on, but you should get the idea - lawyers can be the antithesis of clear communication.
Also, when you start taking airframer proprietary designer information that's been submitted - in confidence - to the regulators and releasing it to the public, you've just given a massive negative incentive to the airframer making them less likely to freely share information with the regulators.
