A 402 Can Be Structurally Perfect and Still Unpayable

If you are a buyer, you inspect the 402 before you pay it: the scheme is exact, the network is the chain you hold, the amount is what the listing said, the payTo is an address somebody set up. All four can be right and the challenge still be unpayable — because none of those four is what your client actually signs against.
