Re:Physical attractiveness bias in the legal system (2017) by paxunix on Monday August 03, 2020 @10:47PM (#24046026)
Engineers have an often-times pedantic fascination with debugging deeply detailed problems.

Consider a legal trial to be a giant machine executing a huge set of detailed and arcane and sometimes arbitrary instructions. Either the machine does the right thing (one side arguing there was no crime) or the wrong thing (the other side arguing there was a crime). What engineer doesn't love figuring out why the machine's behaviour is correct or incorrect?
