If I walk into a room and the floor is metal, the ceiling is metal, every object in the room is metal and then I walk up to each object and I feel a slight pull on the metal objects I am wearing I am lead to believe that the room, and most objects in it are magnetic. This is out of the norm.
In general if I see a metal object in the world it is likely to be non-magnetic. Number of repetitions factor into my association of what metal is, what properties it exhibits and at what probabilities. If I think a metal object is 100% likely to be nonmagnetic that influences my behavior around it. If I think a metal object like in the case of the room is 100% likely to be magnetic, that influences my behavior around it. Even though in life 99.5% of objects might be non-magnetic, we are likely to up sell a system that is less than ideally deterministic, to ideally deterministic as 100% not a magnet.
There are properties that we bestow on objects based upon less-than-ideal perception and comprehension that we change once we know more. Metal objects are non-magnetic, non-high voltage until we comprehend or are warned otherwise.
Going on to Electronics, Electronics teach us to rely upon thinking we know how a system works without always knowing how a system works. If I have an electric car, I charge the battery then turn on the ignition and press the gas pedal – the combination does not require me to understand everything, yet I am building reliance in associations that there is high probability something will work in a particular way. Problem is Electronics and Mechanical Systems have potential for remote intervention – we bestow deterministic nature on non-deterministic systems.
This equates to we reinforce iffy concepts in categorization and classification. A key fob will work to get in the door, out of the door. If it is not working then, and generally only then do we bestow the qualifier if the system is not working properly.
Works close to 100% of the time or 100% of the time for a week, does not guarantee it will work the same way in a month does not equate to we generally view electronics that way. Most electronics that work today are likely to work a month from now in the same way, or at least we think they will based upon previous repetitions that factor into what we consider as knowns and unknowns in life.
My thought is this concept in combination could likely be used in Defense Law, though I am not a lawyer. People rely upon categorization and classification that bestows properties based upon less-than-ideal comprehension, and that process is non-ideally reinforced and likely to be not always deterministic. We as humans do not divest ideally from less-than-ideal comprehension and that is consequential.
Science might be useful for explaining complex topics and concepts in a less confrontational way potentially not always pondered. I think I know how it works to there is more to it, potentially in a very small percentage of times as a known might be useful.
