| ===Deemed repetition===

| What of this idea that one not only [[Representations and warranties|represents and warrants]] as of the moment one inks the paper, but also is [[deemed]] to ''repeat'' itself an the execution of each trade, on any day, or whenever a butterfly flaps its wings on [[Fitzcarraldo|Fitzcarraldo’s steamer]]? Do we think it works? Do we? Given how practically '''useless''' even ''explicit'' [[representations]] are, ''does it really matter''?

| And, having given it, how are you supposed to ''stop'' a continuing {{tag|representation}} once it has marched off into the unknowable future, like one of those conjured brooms from the ''Sorcerer’s Apprentice''? If you don’t stop it, what then? This may seem fanciful to you, but what are buyside lawyers if not creatures of unlimited, gruesome imagination? Are their dreams not full with flights of just this sort of fancy? Rest assured that, as you do, they will be chewing their nails to the quick in insomniac fever about this precise contingency.
