> This blurb, for instance, openly admits their expert opinions are for sale, This has nothing to do with economics - that's how expert opinions work in law. It happens with all kids of expert opinions presented as testimony, from economics to medicine to cryptography. Take a look at the way the expert opinions presented from both sides of the Newegg trial worked if you want to see jaw-dropping expert testimony action - Whitfield Diffie's own testimony on RSA (which he co-invented) was, a priori, given equal weight to the testimony of an expert hired by TQA. It was up to Newegg's and TQA's respective legal teams to convince the jury that Diffie's testimony was more mathematically sound than the other expert's testimony.
