Its simple Kobuchi in many cases it is cheaper to settle fines out of court because the fine is less that the first hour of trial lawyer’s fees. Further, case law is only created after a case has been completely through the applet system. Its not stonewalling you just have not proven your interpretation is correct, all you have shown is that it was cheaper to pay the fine rather than go to court.

And doesn’t it bother you that we idiots of the world make the decision that count...given that you are so much smarter than everyone else.

I understand your problem, and appreciate you can have a good chuckle about destroying and invading a country by accident.
I find that funny...all intelligence fails not just American Intelligence. The joke is that it is all an educated guess just like the weather. There was no accident about invading Iraq and the country was far from destroyed. In fact, Iraq’s infrastructure is in better shape today than it was before the war.
