They could learn, couldn't they.
The law might be an ass. The practitioner of it doesn't have to be. They can be
educated, at least if they are willing to unlearn some false concepts. Such as
that programming is some dark art that only can be understood by the specially
trained.
It is even easier and bound by logic syntax and rules than law. No histrionics
or rhetorical trickery is necessary.
As a side note: Why do English spell rhetorical with a silent h after the
initial r? No other language I know spell it that way. Bad transliteration from
Latin?

By not knowing the difference, judges and lawyers are causing huge damage.
Shouldn't all judges and lawyers should have a duty of care to educate
themselves about the issues they rule on? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

My sister, is a lawyer, and has been infected with the point
of view, that what she does not know about, that she knows
enough about to argue (that she is trained to do) about, so
that in the end, she is right.
Even, when she is wrong, she argues that she is right.
I can see where if a judge "feels" something, that without
being a geek, takes a guess, and goes strong with that (and
that is why we ended up with a horrible uneducated decision
in "Bilski". The majority of the court was clueless, and
guessed.

Is it not their responsibility to find out?
This rangeCheck code is *excruciatingly* obvious. The very idea that it might be
copyrightable is ludicrous.

"Good Morning your Honour, I represent "insert client name here"
in their action against "insert opponent's name here" for "insert
legal bit"".
This is a reasonably complex sentence, but it is not copyrightable.
RangeCheck is very like that ...
