So in hipster terms: it's a paper blockchain that isn't immutable and has no real identity ;-)

  And is pretty easy to forge collisions.

  I mean it's just a paper record. It's existence alone doesn't necessarily prove anything on its own. It's when you're making a case to a judge that you didn't buy 1700 rolls of toilet paper they can say bring it out and say "Yes you did and we have your signature." You're free to counter and say it's a forgery just as you would be to counter and say someone stole your private key. But the point of a signature in particular is that it's supposed to signal considered intent rather than mindlessly checking a box or being rushed and saying "sure sure whatever." We pop up dialogs to ask users for confirmation before doing dangerous actions. What's wrong with the paper equivalent?
