LOL! Yeah, well, there's a reason why the word "lawyer" is often considered a dirty word here in America. :) I'm sure that was an interesting argument to watch. Talk about splitting hairs... can a man be "honest" but still lead a woman to believe that she looks good in that dress? Yikes! Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies.

The whole process can get downright ugly. President Clinton's infamous argument boiled down to the definition of the word "is"! :)

That's why the process depends on competent counsel on both sides. When I talked about precedence for judicial interpretation "A" earlier, of course a judge under the common law system could still go with interpretation "B" if the lawyer is incompetent and does not provide the judge with the precedence for interpretation "A".

So I can definitely see your position. But if that does happen, it should in theory be reversed upon appeal. As if the system wasn't complicated enough already!
