Undiscrutinable



Undiscrutinable: adjective. Being beyond everybody´s power of scrutiny. There are very few things that are truly undiscrutinable, a famous example being the Terms of Service agreement, which is certifiably beyond the power of scrutiny from everyone (including the lawyers who wrote it, presumably with their eyes closed). The idea of something undiscrutinable was first conceived by the philosopher Immanuel Kant, but failing to produce something that was absolutely undiscrutinable, he was mocked by his fellow philosophers until the day he died.
