![]() ![]() ![]() Most judges focus on the facts and the law, not the pounding on the table, while juries can be swayed to a bad decision by a fervent emotional appeal or a sympathetic client. That’s why attorneys with the facts and the law like non-jury trials and hearings, while attorneys with only sympathetic clients like jury trials. after my name in this blog, even though I am a licensed and practicing attorney), PJ’s comment has a lot of merit, The adage as I have heard it is, “When you have the facts, pound the facts when you have the law, pound the law when you have neither, pound the table.”. I can tell you from the perspective of an attorney (I don’t put Esq. ![]() Not everyone pounds the table, and not everyone discusses things calmly. Again, isn’t this all that Tyler people have different styles of addressing issues, Syd. If I believe the scientists are more likely to behave dishonorably if the problem is serious than they are if it is not serious, then I get the condition for response #2. It turns out that if I believe the scientists are more likely to behave dishonorably if the problem is not serious than they are if it is serious, then I get the condition for response #1. If, on the other hand, P(D|S) is greater than P(D), then I will believe it is more likely that the problem is serious (Tyler’s response #2). So, if P(D|S) is less than P(D), then I believe it is less likely that the problem is serious (Tyler’s response #1). So that after learning that the scientists behaved dishonorably, my probability for the problem being serious is scaled by the ratio P(D|S)/P(D). P(S|D) = my probability for the problem being serious GIVEN that the scientists behaved dishonorably P(D|S) = my probability for the scientists behaving dishonorably GIVEN that the problem is serious P(D) = my probability for the scientists behaving dishonorably P(S) = my prior probability for the problem being serious I too had trouble posting on MR, so here’s my two cents on this topic: ![]()
