Hmm, good point.

An unanswered question is why are judges and juries swayed by testimony or opinion which goes contrary to the spirit of the law, unless the law is unjust. I mean in this case, it appears to have rested on how certain things in the analogue world always meant something but then when it goes on to the digital world it should take on different meaning.

Obviously this is sensitive and has controversy, but why is the topic now flagged? It's not party politics, or other really sensitive subject.

Maybe Pinker is the type of thinker who doesn’t care about the relevance or repercussions of his ideas. But then why is he world renown and constantly in the limelight?
