       | This is a really strange thing, because to me a Swede, that means
       | that whatever has been signed is not a contract at all and is,
       | well, who knows what.

       | To me a contract is an agreement. If it is not specific, then it
       | is not a contract at all, and if it's changeable, then it's very
       | obviously not a contract at all.

       | I've heard of more of this kind stuff with US healthcare,
       | although I'm not sure I even want to understand the ideas there,
       | but when people start messing up the basics of laws, refusing to
       | rule that things which are obviously not contracts at all are
       | not, or accepting other weirdness, then they start destroying the
       | law itself, because people will try to build on these things and
       | it'll become a completely arbitrary mess, where almost anything
       | is suddenly allowed. I don't understand how US lawyers etc. could
       | make this. One would imagine they'd want contract law to be a
       | thing, but apparently not.
