@NaomiLWood @lawsocgazette Do you think so? I reckon forging a qualified electronic signature (assuming the system works - a big assumption) is harder than forging a witness, but always interested in thoughts.

@AndrewOrlowski Maybe the trouble started with Nick Davies' otherwise estimable Flat Earth News. Despite all the work I personally experienced one collapse on 31.12.99 - a Garmin GPS handset. Didn't an NHS maternity system also go titsup? Someone should collect examples before its too late.
