On the negative side, insofar as either tradition depends on the other, it may also be subject to long - standing criticisms and
weaknesses of that other tradition, as, for example, the problem of justice.
Upon reflection, I suspect that there are
other factors that explain this sort
of antagonistic approach, including
tradition — «this is the way we've always done it» — and a sort
of old school lawyerly machismo that views willingness to negotiate as a sign
of weakness.
