Lots of people here saying judges and lawyers are incredibly stupid. For decades there was a giant mystique surrounding software and computers, the belief that computers didn't make mistakes. And who promoted that belief? Computer and software companies. So they could make absurd amounts of money. Credit where its' due. Courts should have been much more critical, but they were getting hit with a cultural tidal wave generated by us.
The products were promoted using practices approved by the legal system. If those practices aren't appropriate to use when targeting judges and lawyers, then they're not appropriate for anyone.
