Great insight. I shared with our team as well. Astute assessment of the difficulties and strategy for collaborating with legal and compliance departments.

Keep fighting the acronym war! Can't stand them myself.

-- Additional points for emphasizing "clarity and direct statements" over "hedging and waffling".

Many legal departments get paid well to be concerned about distributing information that may be a contested "fact" in a lawsuit or legal proceedings, but that doesn't mean informational facts that may be up to debate can't be presented in your content as differing opinions in the industry, with disclaimers, or marked up to indicate "this is not legal/medical/etc advice, contact your lawyer/doctor/etc."
