Many things can be implied from a few expressions.

Explanation

The law does not require every consequence to be spelled out; a few well-chosen words can carry broad implications that the law will enforce.

Where this applies

• A few key words in the document carry broad implications.
• The law doesn't require every consequence to be spelled out explicitly.
• Brief expressions can carry extensive implied meanings.
