"Hey Austen we need your signature on this." "Ya no problem." "OK it needs to be a wet signature, so print it, sign it, and scan it." "Ya not happening."
Can we... can we stop pretending that signatures on documents actually verify anything?

I've noticed that in some transactions, the inconvenience and friction is the point. You can't buy a house with a 30-second email which makes it harder to claim you were duped. In the internet era, having to print and sign a paper serves a similar function. And I still hate it!

I spent 3 years signing my name on my credit card with pictures of people standing next to trees and nothing happened. It was at that point I stopped considering signatures to be valuable in any way.

I will say, one time someone at a Safeway wouldn’t accept it and I was kinda like , “fucking finally”.

It's not a high-security mechanism, but it's a small cost that makes repudiating many forgeries easy for, e.g., banks processing checks.

I suspect it is one of the more asymmetrical identity verification mechanisms we have, just as a ratio, for people who are accustomed to printing documents.

Legally they don't do much. You can "sign" something by agreeing over email if you want. The question is more: will both parties abide by that covenant in the future, and if not, is there further proof that somebody intended to do so at the time. So it becomes a matter of risk.
