"...something about (remote? e-notarization?) being doable because of the unimpeachable capability of block-chain technology."
From the little bit I do understand about all this, there appears to be some truth to that. However, it still doesn't address the issue (I think...  ) this guy is talking about. Without the human factor, where a person is making a judgment about consent, willingness, competence and probably more, it seems to me even advanced technology is still too easy to manipulate to commit fraud.
What I think many people miss is that notarizing a document isn't a purely mechanical process, as WE all know. And it seems to me that it's just the mechanical side that's so easily replaced. IMHO, the nuance that a human being brings to the situation *isn't* so easily replaced! I'd bet that collectively we all could come up with quite a list of examples where that's been the case...
For example, would it strike any of you as odd if you noticed you'd been asked to notarize the same person's signature on two different documents that seemed to be in conflict with each other and only one or the other could truly represent the person's wishes? I think I'd at least have some questions for the signer. Theoretically, software could be written to counter some things, but I doubt programmers could anticipate every possible scenario.
