95. You obviously have no clue how lawsuits work
What you just cited is hearsay. I don't have to read it. I know it is hearsay.

Now if Joe Blow expert says the group must be representative and Joe Schmo expert says it doesn't have to be, somebody has got to decide who is right and they don't get to go look up your cites.

Or, if Joe Blow expert says the sample was representative and Joe Schmo expert says it was not, somebody has to decide who is right about that.

All I am saying is that judges and juries are very poor "judges" when it comes to assessing the quality of expert testimony. They might decide which expert is right based on who parts his hair the straightest. Many times the suave expert wins the case and the non-suave expert loses the case even when the non-suave expert is right. Happens every day.
