Common sense would dictate that if if presented with a 30 pages contract in small letters in legalese, your usual folk will not get it. I think that's a common defense.

    It's not. Or rather, it is something people commonly try, but it doesn't work. The court system is designed by lawyers, for lawyers. The idea that a contract isn't valid just because a non-lawyer can't understand it categorically does not fly with them.
