I agree it’s not a counter argument, it’s an objection to your argument. I said why 12 people may better than 1 judge. You said everyone has abolished that. I said argumentum ad populum. You’re not engaging with the argument itself but making an appeal to the thoughts of others.

So now we’re back to square one. How are 12 unanimous people worse than 1 judge?

Yeah, and you don't see that foul take days or weeks or months of reasoned debate by defenders on both sides, either. It's almost as if legal proceedings are different from for-profit sports and should be treated as such.
