Wait. I don't think we should dump the whole project. I want to go back to something I said before.

I think that the point of saying that we must treat equal cases equally is to eliminate one form of arbitrariness. And that may give us us a very important insight into the nature or essence of justice.

It seems to me that the essence of justice is getting away from arbitrary rule or arbitrary decisions. Treating equal cases equally is one form that this takes; and there are others, too.

I think we ought to focus on this for a minute because, in my opinion, it's really important.
