I wonder which side is required to define "evil" in this case? Probably Google's lawyers... Might be interesting what they come up with... If it ever gets to that point.

IANAL, but isn't / shouldn't the process be the following: Google's lawyers drafted the employment contract and used the word evil. Now it is up to the employees lawyers to argue for an interpretation of the word, and if that interpretation is reasonable, then it stands?

There is a Wikipedia article about something similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_proferentem
