There's a thread in this discussion that says more or less
"yeah, but you have to sign it and face possible perjury charges".
This won't work for two classes of people; perpetrators who
would face severe enough penalties if convicted that they have
in their judgement nothing to lose; and the amoral types who
would coldly calculate the odds of being caught and the rewards
of getting away with it, and then cheerfully perjure themselves
every day of the week if the numbers came out right.
