Randy......you wrote that.....not DP......did you not read your copy paste or do you not remember your own words? #548 buddy........It's -your opinion- that eyewitness testimony is critical.
You did manage to get it right, though, by the end - when it comes to eye witness testimony, it doesn't matter who's giving it - it's unreliable regardless.
I missed your comments about courts of law earlier, btw. The courts allow expert testimony not because their being an expert makes the defenses or the prosecutions case, and not because their being experts makes them right. That they are experts in a field lends no further credibility to either side..in and of itself. They are there to provide a quality -explanation- for a particular conclusion (and this is why both sides might end up with experts who reach contradictory conclusions - and this is why the disparity between which expert's testimony made the better case does not rely on which one has a Masters, and which has the PHD)...which is what you should be providing now. Not really sure what the operation of a court has to do with this, tbh, in any case. Are you looking to sue us?
