In that case, why are the US panties in such a twist about Wikileaks? Couldn't they just claim "It's all a lie"? No? Then that implies a fair amount of truth (in other words, at least as much as you'll find on a news site).
Basically, it's a SLAPP situation, made doubly extra bad because I don't think we have anti-SLAPP laws in the UK, and this allows someone with lots of money to *criminally* prosecute anyone they feel like, especially with a judge who is acting like he was totally bought. Sorry, this reads like a 17th/18th Century *actual* pirate trial.
I believe it also uses official translations from sources like the EU - this means it's not bad for stilted or technical language, but it's poor at 'spoken'/written language. I know, because I've used it to proof my wife's translations - when she's doing medical or computer texts, sometimes I have more luck reading the original via Google Translate than her English, since she is doing the traditional 're-casting' that the humanities teach you to do. :)
It's also the fact that they are so clueless to its existence, the fact that it has been used commercially before, that Mass. uses it for other government purposes, and that it can have much more accuracy than an "I phone". If all they had said was "the I phone is an inaccurate measure of GPS" it would be fine. Right now, they may as well be saying that laser rangefinding 'doesn't work'.
It's a simulation of elements, to allow testing as much as is humanly possible. Obviously, it's not like doing the real thing. Science very often cannot exactly copy reality - that's why simulations are so important.
Next, you'll be saying that any pilot doing any simulator time hasn't trained properly...
With the psychological element, it's useful because you can learn what sorts of people cope well, and which don't, so you can reduce the risks of someone becoming unhinged millions of miles from home. Cutting out the major risk factors is still useful. We already know a lot from study of submariners, for instance, who have pretty limited environmental or home-going choices - same with polar explorers.
I'm sure they could do other tests like up a mountain, or in an orbiting environment with reduced gravity, eventually.
You are missing the point. It's not about the actual crime and its comparison - he's using a real life example as the base, even though it's not a perfect comparison. It's about the massive, disproportionate, excessive and endless reaction 'on his part' being compared to how the **AAsses react to digital copying. And how they react to having common sense recommendations made.
