At least it happened here, with only ~$5 million on the line and the only thing lost maybe some reputation.More likely more than one person working on it were reverting each other's edits and otherwise stepping on each other and so you had a document that was just not coming together at the end. Throw in some more messing around with it to try to make it fit the filing system and possible version control issues, at least that's what it looks like. Then references to stuff that someone probably intended to fill in at the end, but maybe someone else was working on it by the end or maybe the first person just forgot.
Then maybe they decided they needed documents notarized which they didn't actually need to notarize, and someone with a notary commission who never uses it. . .who knows?
Looks like it's a tempest in a teapot but I hope they learn a lesson from it.
Imagine if similar issues had popped up in a $250 million business merger.
