I agree that a thorough understanding of the subject is important. I do not seek to defend the other side, but to point out that reasonable doubt as a legal standards carry more weight than endless points about the minutiae of the case. I understand that some know more than I or anyone commenting, however the average person does not. The average person can easily get lost in the many presented intricacies that will be easily understood here. Honestly I'm wondering, what is the gist of you criticism? I know that the DVP's of the world may be lost to reason and evidence, but not all critics are so far gone. Many are simply misinformed, and some can be swayed, I speak from personal experience. This does not mean all, or a majority will be, but some shall if we approach them reasonably, without some self assured bias. Your view of the psychology of the critic is based on your personal experience as is mine. As I said before its sounds more like your trying to convince me of your feelings than facts. Your free to believe whatever you wish, however so am I, and I find evidence not bias to be more enduring. Critics are not always our enemies, sometimes they can be reasoned with and see the truth. I would assume many of our understandings and view have changed over time with new information, all people are capable of such actions, not just the ones we agree with.
