The counter argument to that is that would probably be to bring up the

Moot. We're dealing with the law as it applies in Florida (and the US in

Florida and most US law is based on English common law. The role of
consideration in contract law is one of the things that comes from
English common law.
Most of the US (and most of the former British empire) is a common law
