not the attorneay who just try to make the "best" of it.

The attorneys work the system to make the most of it. Each side calls
in the so called experts to convince people who are intentionally
picked that will know nothing about the topic that the manufacturer
was at fault. If you know anything about the subject then the one
side will do their best to see you do not get on that jury. If you
are widely read, you may not end up being picked to serve on a jury or
if so it'll be rare.

It is purely a debating contest of presenting information whether
valid or not in such a manner as to convince the unknowing that some
one is at fault.
