Unfortunately there are several times as many organizations who will take an undecipherable wall of text as an excuse to push their pre-existing beliefs and agendas with cherry-picked out of context quotes, intentionally misleading interpretations, and bad faith arguments.
Bad faith actors would use it and a pile of techniques used mainly by religions and cults in order to try to seize power.
