    Indeed. I've learned over the years that it's a common tactic of science deniers to invoke legalistic arguments and reasoning to attack science. Science isn't the law, and scientists are not lawyers. Science isn't decided using the same methods as court cases.https://twitter.com/nath4nglx/status/1196633452033888257 …

    as cool as the legal process is, it’s really annoying when people pretend that it’s the be all end all.

        One of my favorite examples of science deniers misapplying legal principles to science: Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. (False in one thing, false in everything.) It's a good rule for evaluating witness testimony, but it has nothing to do with science.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2006/06/05/a-cranks-favorite-gambit-falsu-1/ …

        Moreover, the principle of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus is only intended to be used to evaluate the testimony of a single witness; i.e., if the witness lies or is mistaken about one thing, it's reasonable to question all of his testimony.

        Also the people that invoke those arguments tend to not understand the legal system.
