The small print refers to the specific terms and conditions of an agreement, but this context is saying that the speaker understands that reading the generalities and broad statements can be tedious, which is not what the small print entails
Consider the statement "I understand that reading the generalities and broad statements can be tedious, but I hope you devote time.". Based on this "I know reading small print can be tedious, but I hope you devote time." a true statement? Yes, no, or I don't know?
