    I'd say GP has evolved beyond armchair lawyer and has reached Armchair Legal Justice Warrior stage.

    I suggest we appoint him to the Armchair Supreme Court.

    We have the authority.

    in the real world you can only sue for actual damages.

    there's nothing to stop a country from lieing about their reserves either esentially allowing them to print paper bills.

    What have reserves got to do with it? It's the productive power of the issuing state's economy that matters and if that's out of alignment with the [nominal] money supply the markets will figure it out pretty quickly. Isn't that right, Zimbabwe?

    More to the point, as soon as your protest starts to negatively affect people who are not on the opposite side of the protest, it doesn't matter what your issue is or how important it might be. In the minds of those affected, you are in the wrong, which means you have lost the public's support

    Twaddle. The size of the conductors is determined by the current.

    A higher voltage can jump further, so the voltage determines the distances of the pins from 1) each other and 2) the outside world, i.e. your fingers, the dog's tongue. That effectively sets a minimum size for the plug.
