You’re confusing political opinions with foundational legal facts.
No. Half were scientific facts, the other commonly accepted truths. None were simple political opinions.
Unless you count flat earth as a debated public political opinion… Either way that law is not applied. And never will be, simply because law is not defined by logic.
In any court, there is a principle called ‘Judicial Notice’ (Federal Rule of Evidence 201). It requires the court to accept ‘Common Knowledge’ and ‘Common Sense’ as facts.
I don’t even know how this is applied / applicable.
Common knowledge and facts include global warming needs to be stopped, imperialism is bad, war crimes are crimes, money and power concentration are bad…
As a manager in found this to be partially false.
Most persons doing the work quote forget that shit happens. Except for the few reliable persons I supervised, I usually always asked the follow-up question: what “unforeseen crap” time did you include, and made sure to leave with 3 values: all goes well (which I kept to myself), usual estimate, what if bad shit happens. Then I’d just use the standard pert guesstimate for my official schedules, making sure to include normal dead time which employees often forget (e.g. 8 days work is really 2 full weeks when accounting for meetings).
