This hopefully provides further evidence that smart contracts currently are not and probably never will be a replacement for traditional contracts and court systems. Instead they are a low-cost alternative for specific off-the-shelf problems (like ownership) for which battle-tested implementations will eventually exist.
In that sense smart contracts are a tool for a specific purpose (and maybe a replacement for people who don't have the luxury of a working court system) as opposed to the end-all-be-all solution that some make it out to be.
