The nucleolus is a structure involved in RNA transcription inside biological cells. I am not aware of any use for the term 'nucleolus' in the context of subatomic physics.

Indeed. Unfortunately, there's no moderation option for "WTF are you talking about, you fool".

More apropos of the actual topic, I would remind readers of the adage that if they imagine they understand quantum physics, they probably haven't been paying attention.

A good first step is to recognize that a contract cannot grant any party the right to unilaterally alter the agreement in any way. Next, recognize that no contract may be applied after the fact (especially shring wrap agreements), the deal is whatever it appeared to be the moment money was handed over. By default, that is assumed to be a sale.

Next up, we need to address the multi page walls of text. Start by re-considering the liklihood that the customer actually understood everything in it and limiting it to what an average person would have understood. Nobody should need a lawyer to understand a cellular agreement or buying a piece of software.

I'll bet she has learned a few important things at this point. Some about chemistry, a few about politics and sociology, a few about the way the legal system (doesn't) work in the U.S., and that she needs to take her friend's advice with a pound of salt in the future.

I'm guessing she won't do it again, which would be the only legitimate goal of any punishment at this point, aso that's covered as is. Anything else would just be petty and hateful.
