Lawyers value and spend more time training themselves on breaking apart flimsy arguments and constructing good ones. Yes I do think this skill is worth the opportunity cost. And one of the skills to be learned early, so subsequent knowledge can be placed on solid footing. As an aside, given I had to learn what little I know of argumentation on my own, I wonder if this is a coincidence or something intentionally kept out of the minds of the populace to disempower? Anyway, I'd be in favor of a higher proportion of STEM reps. Beware, I think you'd find STEM folks who would/do ignore facts that don't support their pet conclusion. Integrity is critical in these roles in any case. I wish people were a better judge of character.
