He explained contracts are like a running game of tag for lawyers. &amp;quot;If they don&amp;#x27;t read it, fuck &amp;#x27;em&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;He also said that all contracts are mutable. Just strike in red whatever you want, sign it, and send it back. If they don&amp;#x27;t object (for whatever reason, including not expecting a non-lawyer to do such a thing and never reading your reply), you&amp;#x27;ve won this round of tag.&lt;p&gt;Then mentioning that 9&amp;#x2F;10 contract disputes get settled out of court meant the law didn&amp;#x27;t really matter, it&amp;#x27;s just what you can convince others about.</text></comment>
