lawyers
who at times only want to win the case. This is because if they win the =
case
then they get more money.
Contingency work is usually medical and physical science based. =
Therefore, experts provide its major evidence source through records, =

contentious areas of science and thus more "subjective" in contrast to =
most
geology and the so-called exact sciences
That is what I said, I thought. I simply am pointing out that some =
scientists refuse to admit the subjective nature of their alleged facts =
in this area where the "through a glass darkly" simile is most apropos. =
