I think the fact that the bid is binding upon signing should be stressed throughout recruitment - not just at bid signing. Most bid signing happens right after Pref and many PNMs are emotional, confused, tired and are anxious to get signing, go hang out with their friends and relax after a LONG week. To ask a PNM to read the fine print and listen intently to exactly what is being said before they sign their bid card is asking a lot.
To be honest, I'm 30 years old and in the legal field - if I was emotional, confused, tired and anxious and someone shoved a piece of paper in front of me, made me listen to a potentially boring lecture on directions on how to fill out a form - I would probably tune them out too and might miss very important information.
