"Can a technical person fool a non-technical person?"
"If he wants to, definitely; throw in a bit of jargon, throw a bit of foreign names you know and then viola! The non-technical person is bowled over! And if you are referring to the reference filed against the two judges in the Supreme Judicial Council then, as the Chief Justice said in his address to university students in England, leave it to the judges to do justice."
