As a hard data scientist with a geophysics and computer science background - the law seems capricious and inconsistent. I read a while back something like 30% of the hyperlink references in federal court documents are broken - in the past, law references rarely broke because there were well-managed copies and for-fee private digital archives. The internet has made people lazy - and the courts should ding themselves on their poor record keeping. There appears to be no program for central stewardship of case work or evidence used in decisions. If a case is important enough to be in a brief, then it should be stored in the Library of Congress or some other repository and the court should not accept it until it is. I imagine something like the "Internet Wayback Machine" archive.org. But there are pointers to defunct libraries - Cornell or other universities - that are no longer valid. Imagine if geologists forgot Mt. St. Helens was a volcano or computer scientists forgot about the properties of logic? That level of incompetence is self-correcting in science.
