Reverence to and intimidation by your own contractual form is madness, of course. While we should not be surprised, in our [[High modernism|high modernist]] times, that our overlords fetishise the [[Substance and form|form over substance]], ''deference'' to a contractual form that is plainly suboptimal is no cause for celebration. A confident negotiating team ''engages'' with the form rather than deferring to it. This is the negotiator’s version of “[[jidoka]]”: the “human touch” that makes the machine sing. | Reverence to and intimidation by your own contractual form is madness, of course.
