ON WHAT does the administration of justice depend? Devotees of the Old Testament might say wisdom, as displayed in King Solomon’s judgment.
I'm not for law enforcement hacking into my iPhone to obtain evidence. But suggesting it be cut it in half, old school, ain't progress either.
- musage 8y agoIt says "wisdom", not "cut it in half". What would "cut it in half" even mean here, in context? Nothing. Also, what you call "cutting in half" actually isn't cutting anything in half, but merely suggesting to do so, in order to achieve something else: > By suggesting to cut the baby in two, with each woman to receive half, he was able to discern the true mother as one of the women entirely approved of this proposal, while the other begged that the sword might be sheathed and the child committed to the care of her rival. I'll give you an example of just how silly your response is even without that. Imagine the question is how many gallons of fuel a certain car needs to travel a certain distance, and "using maths" (analogous to "using wisdom") the answer is 3 gallons of fuel. That doesn't mean that for any problem where you use maths to come up with an answer the answer is "3 gallons of fuel". This is a very well written (and illustrated) article, raising important points. But no.
