It reminds me of when people adopt some kind of pseudoscientific language to justify some odd, unfounded theory of theirs, except in this case, they adopt a 'legalieze' language style.

Its a kind of mysticism around the use of language, like how latin and the written word were used to control people in the middle ages in Europe. Its a kind of not-understanding resulting in magical reverence for the thing. Like if you mash together the right combination of legal words and official sounding phrases, it magically causes some effect.
