Justice Brandeis says a thing: https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2016/05/27/justice-louis-bra...
Your description is exceeding vague, and I don’t have a ton of time to listen to a NPR story though from the description it seems like it’s just a general discussion about his life.
Related to the opening of this article – it is interesting to see how one can get completely soured on certain products or experiences because, by virtue of their profession, they see the dirty underbelly of how things in that industry actually work. Someone who has read cruise contracts in detail will never want to go on one. Cooks with experience in commercial kitchens never want to eat at a restaurant again. Someo…
One of those hypotheses is easily testable: bridges can collapse and you will hear about it. And yet.. it rarely happens? There was one in Italy and one in the US recently but, to a decent approximation, it’s a non-issue. Maybe we should have more trust in people and their work. Maybe our bridges are fine, our food is kosher, but what’s rotting on the inside is society, eaten alive by cynicism and distrust.
I'm not a lawyer, but recently I did watch the movie Legally Blond (recently for free at YouTube) where the character Elle Woods on her first day of Harvard Law School was sent out of a class for being "unprepared", that is, not having read 41 pages on "jurisdiction" or some such.
Well, Ms. Woods might have responded to the professor that she did nothing wrong and, thus, should not be sent out of class and all that because she was not "fully and fairly notified" of the existence of the assignment.
I thought of that while watching the movie (likely the movie audience was not supposed to think of such things!), but it is nice now to see none other than Justice Stevens make clear the importance of "fully and fairly". Might have been cute in the movie for the character Ms. Woods to raise such an objection that she was not notified!

The bridge has engineers and architects who know material stats and add tolerances. The restaurant has patrons with immune systems that survived worse times in human history, usually, unless the patron is undergoing serious medical treatment or something.

I don't think I can trust any software at that level.

OT, but what do you mean? Is youtube showing full movies now, or was this a pirate upload?

I’m going to use this whenever I give a legal opinion on the internet.
