So we should not _bother_ examining what we do in order to determine
what mistakes we have made so that we can _fix_ them in future
situations? OJ walked, so we should just pack up everything that went
on in the courtroom and drop it down the deepest well we can find and
ignore it, because if we held it up to examination we might find some
way to improve the quality of justice delivered in the _next_ criminal
trial that comes up in the city/state/country?
