So then what if the bank is not convinced that the two signatures match? What about people like op whose signature is inconsistent?

Depends on the clerk and if there are other possibilities to prove your identity.
I once had to fill out a postal identification to prove my new (online) bank that I am the person trying to open an account. The clerk needed to check my identity, I showed my ID and had to sign as authentication, but as I have (like OP) no consistent signature, it took three attempts until it was accepted.
But then I think, why do you not look at my ID? There's a picture of me in there!
