I've always wondered why signatures of ink on paper are
binding, whereas digital signatures are not, even though
digital signatures are literally billions or trillions of
times more difficult to forge.
E-mail can be easily forged, but then again, so can a fax.
So what's so special about fax?
I really don't know, maybe one of the armature lawyers will enlighten
us. My perception is that it is derived from the physical paper
evidence, and that forging email is so simple for Joe-sixpack that
everyone knows not to trust it.
