"Training in law is training in simplification.  It is a trained 
incapacity to look at all values in a situation, and instead to 
select only the legally relevant ones. ... So few elements of the 
totality are considered that complete equality is guaranteed.  But it 
is, through its simplification, a primitive system."

Nils Christie, Limits to Pain, p 57, quoted in Haney, Reforming 
Punishment, p 271
