Which is why I am against trials with jury. Professional judges are much less likely to fall for lawyer's "bullshiting skill".

  Then judges just become targets for corruption, leverage and political capture.

    Sure, but there are ways around that.

    Yep, that's the idea: You're tried by a "jury of your peers" so you can't claim that you were fitted out by the aristocracy ... at least in theory

  That seems like a stretch. Judges routinely make questionable rulings. Heck, in this case Alsup did a great job in the first (jury) trial .... and then Oracle appealed and the original decision, which I thought was right, was overturned by judges.
