Well, first the science has to support the claims before they even go to a jury. Plaintiff’s science has undergone rigorous analysis by federal and state courts.

Second, you think most people are idiots and should not be allowed to decide civil claims. Do you propose a constitutional amendment? Do you think idiots should be allowed to vote? I mean at least jurors are required to sit through all of the evidence. People can vote for whatever reason they want. And the stakes are higher of course. Who runs our country is more critical to the nation than who will a tort lawsuit.

In a group of 12 of my peers, 25% believe in Young Earth Creationism, a third are not proficient in math when they leave high school, 1 in six are on psychoactive drugs, 14% cannot read. If it weren’t for Venn diagrams, that would leave just me as the arbiter of facts. And I don’t much care for Monsanto.

I think that most people are idiots if they think “it’s the insurance company that pays, no one gets hurt”.
