How does this style fit the specifics of the legal discourse?<BR/><BR/>Would a lawyer, by reflex, seek missing or excluded facts that could be added to the case? Would a lawyer try to attack assumptions made in the example? <BR/><BR/>One may argue, for example, that the true cause is inaction of Joe who failed to remove the stones from the yard.<BR/><BR/>I believe that modeling is very useful, and it must be quick to be useful in practice. There appears to be two large sources of modeling knowledge: one is traditional - mathematics, the other i new - information technology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
