How is it good public policy for contracts executed at gunpoint (for example, considering the duress case) to be considered good? Such contracts are not, to my knowledge, consider valid anywhere in the world and for obvious reason and need to be undone.
It doesn't matter whether the contract is unambiguously written if you sign it with a gun in your mouth.
There's no way to do this in code. You need a judicial system to make determinations on them based on facts. There is no "adjustment to the design" other than incorporating some kind of arbitrary undoing capability into smart contracts that defers to a legal oracle that consumes decisions of courts and applies them into the chain.
