There's some truth to what they're saying, but is it any different than a handwritten signature? "I didn't sign that. That's not my signature."
In both cases, from a legal perspective, the issue is the same: I've got to prove to a judge or jury, by a preponderance of the evidence, you did sign or click. I can either bring in paid whore handwritting analyst to testify that in their professional opinion, it is your signature (and hope he doesn't get excluded for being a quack), or I can subpoena docusign to produce whatever evidence they have that the person actually clicked. In the end, the judge or jury will either believe them or not.
If this is a billion dollar life or death deal, my free legal advice is, in either situation, get as much verification as you can at the time of the signing. Both will be easier to prove if you have things like a copy of their driver's license, or even better, video of the person clicking/signing.
