Re: DD: Plaintiff's Counsels...Keep Up the Good Work

DD:

OK. I was referring to "Dark Overlord" as Mr. Darkness. I have
not seen the types of cases or expert testimony that fits his
characterizations.

I have seen situations where defense experts, and supporting
scientists, typically fell into two categories: 1.) They were
willing to lie, i.e. they knew better, or 2.) What they thought
they knew, or believed to be factual, was later proven to be wrong.

Nothing fits better than the case referenced some time back by
Mary: Fla. 4th DCA. For years, it was believed that a certain
chemical did not contaminate water. In fact, in Florida, the
agencies excluded water contamination in their investigations into
this chemical based on this belief.

The 4th DCA states that the minimum distance from point of
application of this chemical, to where the aquatic damage was
observed, was ten miles. That seems like an awfully long distance
for a chemical that doesn't contaminate water?

Dark Overlord likely fits into category 2 above. I consider
Suppression Bias as the most likely explanation for 1 and 2 above.
He may be a victim of lies from those he trusts, suppressors, and
just doesn't know better?
