Years ago when I was working at a different company, all employees were given an agreement that we were required to sign, regarding (non-)disclosure of confidential information. I carefully read the document, and noticed a section that basically said we were not allowed to disclose any information about our products to anyone outside of the company. It obviously should have specified not to disclose confidential information, but taken literally, we were not allowed to tell customers about our products at all, such as by publishing advertising/marketing materials. I emailed the president about this, who forwarded my concern to the lawyer who created the agreement. The president then forwarded the lawyer's reply back to me, which more or less said that I was an idiot. Deciding this wasn't a battle worth fighting, I replied "well, since I'm not a lawyer, I'll have to take his word for it that a judge in court would interpret this clause the way he claims it is intended", and signed it. The agreement also said that the president was supposed to co-sign each signed agreement and return a copy back to the employee, and since I never actually received my co-signed copy, I have to assume it never became binding for me anyway.
