Engineers are good for some cases, bad for others.

In this case the argument was that an engineer was bad because he would be too analytical to be bulldozed by the lawyer's rhetoric. The counter argument was that he would be smart enough to understand the evidence. From that I drew the conclusion that analytical jurors are good if you have a good case and it's complicated, bad if you want to make an emotional argument or just want to snow them.
