It is one of those things that reminds me that most people with a science degree do not actually practice science.
The people who don't understand the limitations of science and possible errors in certain methods are clueless jurors and the cops who pay a random person $800 to sit on the stand, say they are "and expert" and claim there's a trillion to one odds that two people could have "the same" DNA, even though that isn't even remotely what was tested!
Courts allow basically anything as long as you can pay a guy to say they are an expert and parrot whatever you want. But somehow that's treated as if it's the fault of biologists and others who do DNA analysis?
Maybe our courts shouldn't be based on "Trust anything a cop says, period"
Thinking that scientists have always known the limitations kind of proves my point about even most highly educated people not understanding science.
The rot has metastasized into plain view with hokum like "911 call psychology", maliciously incompetent evidence handling, arson analysis, bullet analysis, civil forfeiture, and has even compromised previously honorable and integrity-backed professions with embarrassments like shaken baby syndrome.
Bring any of this up and you'll get excluded from jury duty at /voir dire/.
