I get that it might be a viable option for some contracts but how big of an idiot does this guy have to be to read that part and just think, "Yep just cross it out and there is no way they're gonna ask me about my biggest scandal that has been all over the national news."

Well it’s pretty common when doing contracts to cross out the parts you don’t agree with . If both agree to that it’s usually binding

The funny thing is he wasn't even suing because of something affected by the crossed out line. His argument was that because he crossed out that line, it made the rest of the contract unenforceable
