Unfortunately the world is too complicated and the human race too selfish for this ever to be possible.
In my experience judges (in England at least) tend to be excellent at understanding the legal issues and are very discerning.
There is currently a drive to simplify contracts and conditions in consumer contracts but there is still a long way to go.
It would be impossible to restrict contracts and T&Cs to just one page in many instances. Remember a contract is a two way thing, the protections are there for both parties. Some are a little too onerous, I agree but to oversimplify them would create more problems than they would solve.
