When both sides of a case are properly represented, neither attorney can get away with too much BS because one attorney yells out “objection!” when the other tries something sneaky. Politically homogeneous universities are like courtrooms with only one attorney. Not only is the other side not properly represented, but the dominant side can get away with more bias, more straw man arguments, and more motte-and-bailey defenses when there’s no opposition there to yell “objection!”
