    I feel like most average people (regardless of age) don’t even know alternatives to internet browsers exist, so why would I expect a judge to know? They’re obviously not experts in every field, it’s up to the attorneys to inform them and persuade them one way or another.

    Are people here unable to see that the layman might not know what Firefox is off-hand?

      I don’t think it’s that. I think most people want a judge who’s knowledgeable enough on the subject that he/she’s actually judging.

      Bringing in experts to educate him during the court case is not right, he’s supposed to be able to judge if the experts are actually experts and know what they’re talking about, by the time the actual case is happening.
