Then they rules are a sham. They are meaningless. If the "rules" in a contract are just vague suggestions, then the contract is basically useless.
- tptacek 10y agoNo, it doesn't. It simply means that the rules in the contract are not the only rules that govern the agreement.
- wyager 10y agoIf that were the only problem, we could rectify it by explicitly enumerating those rules in the contract. However, it unquestionably lowers the utility of contracts if they are forced to have certain terms (explicit or implicit) included.
- tptacek 10y agoIndeed, it does unquestionably lower the utility of contracts that each individual contract does not have the ability to create for itself its own entire public policy and jurisprudence. We've generally decided contracts shouldn't have that much utility.
