Sure, but can you tell them apart from a fracture caused by injury? Presumably someone knowledgeable in medicine should be able to, but maybe it is one of those things that isn't as obvious as we, the uneducated outsider, might think.
- R0b0t1 6y agoThat's an extremely flawed argument. If you can't explain it to a layman then you don't understand it. If you can't tell whether it's a gap or a fracture -- you can't get a conviction. "It just looks like it" is not a valid reason.
- AS37 6y agoInterestingly there's an area of psychology called Naturalistic Decision Making which studies how experts make decisions that they can't explain. (Example: a firefighter may be able to pinpoint where a fire is before they enter a house and see it.)
- R0b0t1 6y agoI know, but that is reason for suspicion, not evidence for a conviction.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoIt is possible that they could have well supported their assessment with evidence and still been wrong.
