Law. How much of it rests on technicalities, and how much do judges care about the essence of the facts of a case? You only hear about the weird outcomes on the news. For example, I was once working with an attorney because my landlord didn’t supply heat in the apartment. I started keeping a temperature log, but how would a judge know that the log was accurate? Do I need to prove that my thermometer is accurate... etc. In practice, no, but how can I better reason about what is “likely” vs not?
