O' Connor is chief judge for the division. Given his role, he can administratively reassign cases to himself without the usual relatedness findings. This is most certainly why no rationale was given by Judge Pittman. O' Connor is abusing his power to ensure he oversees this case.

Here’s a question for you lot. Assume this is abstract. A relation — two or more relations = a relationship. The measure of that relationship is relatedness. How would you describe the change of relatedness?

I am all for "species aren't real, they're just a convenient tool for explaining relatedness" but the "Just Going On Vibes Species Concept" is a new one for me.

Need to read, but this looks cool. Using random deviations from expected relatedness to estimate heritability (for silly organisms like humans where you can't just clone genotypes and experimentally control for the environment) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Relatedness disequilibrium regression estimates heritability without environmental bias - Nature Genetics
Relatedness disequilibrium regression is a new method for estimating heritability that removes environmental bias by taking advantage of variation in relatedness due to random Mendelian segregation.

(agreeing with what you said) It is also significant that, in Latin, physical proximity can *not* be taken as an indication of semantic relatedness.

Although if you were to play the Kevin Bacon game with with members of one and the other the average relatedness would approach zero on the kelvin scale.
