That is a very, very smart way to detect the impending failure.  As they always say, the devil is in the details.

Huh.  I cannot argue with forcing the promoters to read the entire contract.  Many times over the years, I have read draft settlement agreements prepared by opposing counsel, found and removed various clauses about the settlement that we had not actually discussed and agreed to.  I have learned that when someone says 'it is just standard boilerplate' to read it even more carefully for the 'gotchas'.

Recommend you-all do, though.  It's just 5 minutes, and it is funny.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.
