<<But you did aquiese to my point that the way the legal principles are setup it encourages people (generally salesmen) to lie and to have the lies overridden by the written contracts.>> I'm not sure I would agree with the idea that it "encourages" them to lie, but it does allow them to lie. What encourages them is the commission they make on the sale, which is not mitigated since they have little chance of being punished in any meaningful way for the lie.
