Agree and thank you for clarifying this.
These thoughts made me conscious of the difference in the "truth seeking process" of science and justice. In science, there is a natural and strong incentive to be objective and honest (cf. MIT's open comment on Aaron's death). Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case in the justice system regardless of the country. Why is that ?
Could it be because the justice actors are considered not accountable for their "errors", because there is no credibility karma in play like in science, because a final decision must be made in a fixed time frame even if it can't be made on the "real truth" ?
The justice system looks so middle age compared to science. And I already think in frustration that there is still plenty of room to make science more efficient in its truth seeking process. Lowering access barrier to scientific research knowledge is one of them !
