The law does not know what to do with science.

It allows any Tom, Dick, or Harry with an M.D. or a Ph.D.
to testify in court as an “expert,”
and whatever he says is “true” is regarded as such.

The only gatekeeper for the process is the trial judge.
But how does he know what is reliable? Like the lawyers,
the last time he studied science was in high school.

This situation couldn’t be more perfect for the power
companies and cell telephone companies, for the law firms
that represent them in court, and for the law firms that sue
the companies.
What these law firms call “science” is a distortion
specifically designed to promote victory, not truth or justice;
the firms are to science what Rush Limbaugh [no. Stutum?]
is to Socratic dialogue.
