Law
Principles of retribution, inflexible rules & compromises.
'Truth the Whole truth and Nothing but..', is best,
While 'Truth and Nothing but..', leaves out the rest.
Stealthy lawyers; by close selection sets,
Present persuasive cases like cadets,
Whose exclusions like 'suppressio veri's',
To th'unwary, make 'suggestio falsi's'
When 'full disclosure'; lawful, be withheld,
Unjust sentences make, nought there expelled.
Difficult indeed to form conclusions,
Whose truth relies on 'Whole truth' bastions.
Last resort those logical conjectures,
Which explain these; 'must have been', abductures.
Thus stealth perceived, by grievèd stealth combat,
Logic's laws clean all space' and time's caveat.

A Valid argument for integrity
A challenge for the many who try to lie in court
"The law against it! But that her tender shame
Will not proclaim against her maiden loss,
How might she tongue me! Yet reason dares her no;
For my authority bears a so credent bulk
That no particular scandal once can touch
But it confounds the breather." (ii) ***
A Fallacy (appeal to Authority) ( I am - titled, and I work for a large company )
“All is not well.
I doubt some foul play. Would the night were come!
Till then sit still, my soul. Foul deeds will rise,
Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes."
(iii) ***
A valid argument for patience, allowing time , nature and logical rationalisation to mature, eventually displaying the full design and purpose intended by the tortfeasor.""
The underlying intentions behind such procedures are to do with lower standards of behaviour and integrity.
The strategy is one of malfeasance and nonfeasance under the guise of omissions excused as oversights.
They prefer
"display, rhetoric and proof to,argument, logic and truth."
Might’s not right, where argument's not treason,
Treason's his who's Might, supress’ good reason.
