You found a definition for the asterisk, as to be defined in legal terms, a disclaimer… I’d hesitate to use it as such, especially for purposes of legally defined terms. This is one of my pet peeves; the grip the judicial system has upon the formation, structure & daily activity of a business with the actual creation of legal loopholes by way of legal diatribe, in order to promote their profession as a parasitic financial benefit in the opportunistic creation of natural competition within ‘man’s competitive nature’ & the fear created from the repercussions of retribution… it is absolutely possible to have a solid understanding of the law, within a business, enough to negate the need for daily legal interference & fear of unwarranted or unjustified lawsuits, & to promote understanding for business to business activity, employer to employee consideration, & to protect the entity of the business, as well as the personal interests of individual executives & professionals… with understanding, & thus enabling the business to preserve assets for best use.

I find best use of the asterisk to be as a ‘key’ or content label…. they’re beautiful, & best when used sparingly.
