If I counter sign agreement, certainly. How do you think that sales of both movable and immovable property work?

That's not what we were talking about. We were talking about a third party modifying your document without your consent (and sometimes even without your knowledge). You write git commit "Fix bug" and then a third party swoops in the night and modifies that with "Co-authored by: Microsoft".

I don't know! How is the court supposed to differentiate between a forged document and an authentic one? A question for the ages.
