He knows more about court expenses, than you know about what he knows. Just say "It's expensive to go to court", or better, just don't comment.

- TeMPOraL 13y agoCompletely off-topic, but your comment made me wonder: Is there any way to formalize expressions like "he knows more about X than you know about Y", where X and Y are different domains? Is there a way to quantify it, to answer questions like "how much more"? Do we have any kind of well-defined "unit of knowledge"? Does anyone here knows of relevant math branch that talks about these questions?
- StevenXC 13y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measure_(mathematics) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measure_(mathematics) A measure is a function on the subsets of a space which yields a non-negative real number. For example, a measure of the triangle with vertices (0,0), (2,0), and (6,0), is 6, the area of that triangle. Measure satisfies certain nice properties, such as if A is a subset of B, then the measure of A is no more than the measure of B. So, I guess if you can define a reasonable measure on the spaces X and Y, you can measure collections of X and collections of Y, and use the real numbers to determine which is "more". But this doesn't strike me as useful in any way other than the fun of abstract mathematics. :-)
- smalltalk 13y agoNo, if he knew anything at all about legal expenses, he wouldn't have implied it made sense to sue someone with maybe $500,000 in assets.
