a lawyer exists to defend and interpret law. which this guy is arguably incapable of, given his elementary knowledge of really simple technical principles.
that is not the job of a software engineer. i'm not sure your analogy holds water.
- gamblor956 13y agoYou're mixing up the two meanings of technical. It is not a lawyer's job to understand technology; it is the lawyer's job to understand the law. The lawyer understood the law and the technicalities of the law just fine--the problem is that he admits that he may not understand some, most, or all of the technology at issue in weev's case.
