The allusions are to previous year's debates on the electrical exhibition in Paris as well as debates on vivisection legislation, both extensively reported in The Times; the immediate critique of the editorial was the increasing tendency of judges to defer mundane technical matters in court cases to specialist experts rather than trusting juries to use their common sense.
