The author is not American, afaik he is Scottish

  The author has become a German citizen. Does that make him more German than Scottish or British or whatever he used to be or still is? The problem is that legal proceedings are done in a natural language. You try to do something exact with tool that is fuzzy by nature. So specialists basically create their own language in order to get precise. Can an average Scotsman or American incorporate a company in their own country and fully understand all legal implications? That said Germany has literally centuries of traditions that some other countries don't have. For me as a German living abroad it's been a surprise what things can go unregulated, meaning that big corporations, lawyers or officials just (mis)use the gaps for their own benefit. (Which does not imply that German desire to regulate things well have prevented greedy criminals to commit crimes like VW and Wirecard undetected for years.)
