I think you're misunderstanding the Agoran EXCUSED. The Agora courts 
would rule that you should have known better than to join a broken 
contract in the first place. (This rule is to prevent people from 
getting out of contracts by making new ones that require the 
opposite; it may be possible to specifically nullify contradictory 
requirements within a single contract. Agora is not B.)
