Accompanying Statement,

The handshake is a universal gesture that is instinctively recognised. We understand what it means but its recognition is so intuitive that we do not stop to consider it. If we did, we may observe this distinct gap between the inferred content and the superficial representation of the gesture itself. 

It is one of the most powerful political tools, yet it means almost nothing.
