Courts deciding on nature of reality is peak Kafka.
It is not a new story though. A family member argued about a traffic accident, that the description provided by the other side is physically impossible. The judge replied, that physics would not count for humans.
A lot of people who study law do so, because they are terrible at sciences.
Kafka is also not a new author.
And yet courts making stupid rulings surely predates him? (Even if that example does not)
Sure, but he was the best to describe the absurdity.
So true.
