1. A defense along the lines of what Hans will do is not necessarily
the same as what a juror would do in the same cir***stances is most
likely to convict the client. (IMHO)

2. Orthogonal means perpendicular. A good programmer, in my
experience, tends to be insular and not particularly social. Autistic
people also tend to insular and unsocial behaviour, My interpretation
of your paragraph is directly opposite of what I perceive you mean.
Could you please rephrase your text such that I can understand your
meaning.
