> There are so many things that go into contracts that cannot be articulated in 'code' that this all hardly makes sense.

I think this is actually something I've been trying to articulate for a while now anytime smart contracts come up.

Legal contracts only specify the criteria and conditions surrounding a contract. Smart contracts must describe that PLUS all the very specific instructions on how to validate those criteria/conditions which adds a massive amount of complexity into the contract (and more potential for loopholes).
