The three reasons that we would
not like to live in medieval times:
1) no internet
2) the black plague
3) no adhesive tape

There will probably be expert legal testimony as well,
and this amounts to Argument by Precedent:
The frammisgoshes should be distimmed because
a frammisgosh is like a farble
and distimming is like gosketing
and our ancestors always gosketed the farbles
-- Robert Anton Wilson
The doctrine of eminent domain, which allows the government to steal anything it wants, is regarded with repugnance by most people, but lawyers say it is legal and proper, because government has been stealing things for a long time.
-- RAW
I believe that everything admirable in the modern world results form the use of Argument by Experiment together with Argument by Logic (without making an Idol of either), whereas everything heinous and terrible results from the persistence of the older habits of Arguments by Authority, Intimidation, Self-Interest and Legal Precedent, or the various forms of calling the other side sons of bitches.

Part of this problem has hinged upon the difficulty that, by simply demonstrating a correlation between two events, you do not prove causality. One has to show or demonstrate just what the mechanism is, and objectively demonstrate each step between the two correlated events, before cause and effect are proven. This is in most cases a very wise policy, but it is very unevenly applied in the world of the sciences. Orthodox theorems are rarely subjected to valid critical review based upon their failures to meet this strict criteria (eg, "bad genes", invisible viruses, etc.), while unorthodox theories are denied funding or simply thrown out or repressed for whatever weaknesses they may have. Industrial polluters may also raise this issue to avoid taking responsibility for the environmental damage they have done.
-- James DeMeo, Ph.D.
a major fallacy of physics is that if an instrument does not
measure an environmental disturbance, then no disturbance
has occurred.
-- James DeMeo, Ph.D.

I stopped my son from playing videogames, and he began
to develop all kinds of creative skills. It's human to
seek out the quickest reward, but if you get the reward
immediately, you don't go anywhere else. You learn that
the delayed reward is more rewarding.
-- Michel Gondry

Some say that my teaching is nonsense,
Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.
I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, and compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.
-Lao Tzu (circa 570 b.c.e.)
