Good point. My counter is: not only might that make the documents signed fail to fulfil the intended function, e.g. convincing a govt agency that you have income, but more fundamentally, lawyers would know better than I that a signed statement that happens to have small print that says "lol, jk, maybe this isn't true" might not hold up in a court of law. I have a vague feeling there's precedent for that kind of thing.
