> But, while it's possible to game any 'objective' metric like AST distance, maybe that's preferable to the subjective and incentivized claims of an expert witness, who will be biased in favor of the party paying them. And while it's easy to get lost in the paragraphs of expert witness testimony, a collection of objective metrics is easy to compare to previous cases. That's the important part. Sure, you can game an objective metric. The moment you use any metric you risk gaming, but at least you have something which is not "well ... I thought so. And I'm certainly not biased because I get paid by one side. Never ever."
