I think a big problem is that Dean Kamen doesn't communicate his intentions effectively when he attacks lawyers.

Does Dean believe the negative stereotypes of lawyers and is imposing his intolerent beliefs on us? Or is Dean simply using the legal system as a metaphor for what he doesn't want to see happen to the rules in FIRST?

Can you really fault anyone in FIRST for thinking a certain way about lawyers when the "head role model" sends such a scrambled message?
