No doubt bro, the very notion that a signature - without verification
of identity by an agreed upon third party, and then sealed/encrypted
to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks is simple ignorance.

Fax is such a backward technology though and, aside from the
'convenience', most people's (or bureaucrats') rationales for
wanting faxed copies of something are deeply flawed. The assumption
is that a faxed document is somehow a proof of veracity than an EPS
signature on an electronic document. They are, of course, both
easily faked.
On top of that fax on a data compression can't compare to e-mail or
relatively plain text and the quality of multiply faxed documents is
awful.
And on top of all that, the idea that you get a digital file, print
it out, write on it, scan it in and send it (whether via computer/
scanner or fax machine) and the other person does the opposite at
the other end (often needing a digital copy) is absolutely absurd in
an age of environmental concerns.
Fax should die.
Best,
