Given that my daughter is allergic to cow's milk (not lactose intolerant - ahhhh-choooooo!) that might have been specified if Nicolai and I had done something silly like break up when she was 4. Which as djonn comments below is presumably the principle involved at the judicial level. And yeah, it seems to require all or at least most involved to be dealing honestly. The judge hasn't got the option of doing all his own investigation, even in something as simple as a doctor's report.

Heck, even if everybody IS being honest, the law is like an old workhorse of a program that's been patched and re-patched and re-re-patched and the wonder is that we don't get more unintended consequences out of the thing.
