@Eugene

[/url]Your saliva poision example is actually an example of an implicit contract (for a lack of a better word).

haha. Well, I’m not convinced; I think that’s taking the concept of “implicit contract” too far. Also, the “cause/effect” mechanism is less obvious in my second example than it is in my first. But this raises the questions: What constitutes “a contract?” and its corollary “What constitutes a breach of contract?”
