This is a very bad take. Handshakes carry weight, sure ... but what is the AGREEMENT that they affix themselves to? The beauty of a written contract is that it forces both parties to contemplate the EXACT, SAME details ...and then gives an arbiter, later, access to the same. https://twitter.com/Kyle_Moonlight/status/1075119610389774336 …

9/ Compare: The blacksmith delivered the hinges, but they were too small for the intended door. I, the farmer, say "these are no good; I'll give you 18 bushels" "No, I delivered the hinges! Pay me!" "The WRONG hinges!" https://twitter.com/Oghma_EM/status/1075133473562742785 …
