I agree with this. But equity is a sticky thing, and at the stage we're talking, no contract will be so air-tight as to avoid disputes.

In my experience, sometimes it doesn't matter what you've written and signed. In those cases what matters is the spirit of the contract (written, verbal or implied), intent and good faith. Call me an optimist, but if you're working with honourable people (as in the article), disputes can be managed objectively, even if you violently disagree about things. I believe our system is efficient in that matter.
