Super insightful comment. We have an imperfect system, but what I think is good about it is that jurors are evaluated on their capacity to fairly and impartially decide a case. It sidesteps the need to base the qualification on metrics like IQ, or level of intoxication, etc, and places it in the hands of the lawyers and judges. Imperfect, and there are ways that lawyers exploit it, but IMHO it's ultimately more fair.
