"The problem is that the justices were groomed in a field that emphasizes reasoning by analogy." That doesn't excuse them form actually understanding the issue

"The problem is that the justices were groomed in a field that emphasizes reasoning by analogy." That doesn't excuse them form actually understanding the issues and terms at hand. Analogies are good for a lot of things, but they're awful for many others, including most technologies. Instead of using an analogy to understand the cloud, they could use a definition: "other people's servers." It seems to me that this is indeed a failing on the justices' part to put in effort to understand technologies that they rule on time and time again. This is no surprise as they constantly ignore scientific evidence in their rulings. This isn't stupidity, it's and abdication of their duty. Either way, both things lead to horrible rulings like the Aereo one.
