Without going into case specifics, these type of actions are normally settled on a balance of probabilities associated with a duty of care (no?) rather than scientific evidence?

Otherwise the case is open to appeal. Evidence along the lines of "what a crock" is not admissable. Nor are personal attacks. Nor is Wikipedia as a source of evidence. All the Helbig crap and the crap on the internet, wikepedia, chrisbusbyexposed and so forth have been brought into several of my recent court cases by the UK Ministry of Defence. The judges threw it all out and the cases were all won for the clients I represented as an expert witness.  For it to work in a court, Helbig or Dapra or Ministerat Franz, or Raabe or whoever would have to come into the witness box and give evidence. Then it would be rapidly clear under cross examination what their evidence was worth. Or in the US this would appear in the pre-cou

Science is not made by weighing the number of people who believe something on one pan and those who believe the opposite on the other pan, nor is it made in courts, but at least in courts you get a honest hearing and the rednecks are kept out by the court officials and the judge under the contempt of court rules. They can then repair to the beer joints or the internet.

>> It is a redneck argument from an ignoramus in a low beer joint. Ha Ha they drunkenly shout and spill their beer in mirth and merriment. Shame on you Otto Raabe. You at least are supposed to be a scientist. You would not get away with that in a court of law, and I notice that you were in a court of law on the other side from me a few years ago. Remember? What was the outcome of that case? Do you remember?
