This is what I find the most disturbing. We have access that no previous generation could ever dream of. If we have a question about a law, we can easily pull the text of the law, if we have a question about a court decision, we can pull the slip reports. It only takes a few moments, but it seems that even with this unprecedented access, people are still relying on other people to interpret.

There is an old saying that I just made up: You can lead a person to data, but you can't make them think.
