    Are you suggesting that judges should rule based on measurable facts rather than on evidence presented by the defense and prosecution?

    That would wreak havoc on the trial lawyering racket. Not to mention ruining the unfair advantages held by the wealthy.

    It's STILL an acceleration. Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Slowing down IS acceleration.
