    Doesn’t matter, everyone knows your signature is just a scribble that starts with something sort of resembling the first letter of your name and then just doodles for the rest

          Beauty of handwriting is that it doesn’t even need to be consistent for an expert to determine with pretty high accuracy whether or not it’s coming from the same person. A physical signature is actually a pretty decent way to verify that a specific person really did sign something.

              What you can’t do is determine if someone is a criminal or not, but the way someone writes is usually pretty concrete, because the patterns of muscle movements the brain has encoded to mean “write these letters”
