That's interesting. I wasn't aware that cases in the jurisdiction of a lower court could "skip" the lower court. And it appears I misread your earlier point. You were talking about the lower court "predicting" the higher court, and not deciding on the same cases. My point was that cases that go to multiple courts are the ones that are hard to decide, but it's moot.
