Is there a reason you use "licit" over "legal" everywhere?

The "precise to the point of pedantry" part of my brain sees the word "legal" and replies "There are a great many legal things that you'd never consider doing and would be alarmed if anyone thought you capable of doing them."

Trying to think of a justification for being any kind of consultant besides a "money go up" consultant and it's kind of hard. I guess if you mostly make money go up in a specific way, you might want to under-promise?

Ah and probably the credibility barrier is lower. Proving that your eg. sound system setup drove revenue is hard, but proving it made good sounds isn't.
