re: #405 Sharmuta

A) You believe that the courts tend to be biased against men.
B) You cite a case which supports your conclusion. Now, what you could think about is “what would it take to change belief A”? Are you cherry-picking the cases, selecting out only those cases which support belief A? Is your sample truly representative of the courts? Are there cases in which the reverse occurs (an obviously abusive man receives custody of the children)? Could you design a means of testing whether or not Belief A is true? What would you need to know? (these are just “thought experiments.”)
