>Just because they happened to make the right choice doesn't make them competent.

So let me get this right...you don’t think a jury can comprehend and understand the facts being presented to them through experts, yet without hearing any facts or experts you can confirm these juries “made the right choice”?

As I said before there will be educated people in this thread who down play a juries ability to make a accurate finding of fact and yet be all to happy to make their own findings without any knowledge of the facts of a given case or expert testimony, just as you did.

Yes. It's possible to make a good decision through a flawed process.

So, what exactly are you arguing for - an autocratic class of rulers who make decisions for the general public about their own health?

I'm arguing that even though the system works well in many (most?) cases, there are common corner cases in which it does not.

I don't know where you're getting the idea that I endorse autocratic rulers, but it's absurd and borderline inflammatory.
