Supreme Court Fails Biology 101 (update)

Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) claims "That's not surprising: they're elderly lawyers......That’s okay, because a legal system that requires the Supreme Court to understand molecular biology as well as molecular biologists is a legal system that’s doomed to fail." Nobody's expecting them to understand the case as well as molecular biologists. However, the Supreme Court has clearly failed to establish a support system whereby the people who are advising them are capable of communicating to them the basic elements of a technical case. What they wrote was embarrassing and laughable. Is that really okay?
