Never underestimate a sharp paralegal. Give them room to dig and they'll save you every time.

That 9/11 Commission Report is something like 600 pages and the NIST one is even longer. Nobody reads the whole thing end to end, they just grab a few paragraphs that support what they already believe. I've got a buddy who spent a week watching YouTube videos and suddenly he's an expert on steel melting points. The thing is, if you actually sat down with those reports, you'd see how much boring engineering detail backs up the official story. But that's the problem, boring doesn't get clicks or make for a good argument at a bar.

Gotta push back a little on this one. Clean code is great, but comments can save your butt when you're dealing with weird business logic or a hacky workaround you had to use. I've seen plenty of "self-documenting" code that still leaves you scratching your head about why something was done a certain way. Comments that explain the "why" not the "what" have saved me hours of digging through Git history.
