> Reading this thread, I do not get Germany's worship of notaries and notarizations.

No-one here worships them, they're just an obscenely rich entrenched institution running a racket as the gate keepers of certain notarized acts and doing anything in their power to lobby against innovation.

I could also ask you why U.S.-Americans worship a horribly broken school system or love lacking consumer and privacy protections. The answer is simple, it's not worship.

I assure you American politicians and lobbyists do worship those malign traits.
