Also, it's not that easy to perfectly and quickly forge a signature with someone watching you.

I believe.
It's true though. Forged signatures are partly detected through hesitations, pen lifts and breaks, because you make your own signature quickly and smoothly, without thinking about it.
Yeah, no. Most of the population essentially never signs anything, so their signatures are written exactly how someone forging it would, and you don't need to forge it perfectly, because basically nobody can consistently reproduce their own signature.
It's not about identical reproduction. It's about the automatic movement. It's more detectable under photocopy.
And even people who type all the time have to sign things sometimes.
