Competitive forensics is an intellectual exercise, not a way of addressing or solving social problems. It's like translating Cæsar's Commentaries — you're not likely or expected to have any new and valuable insights that previous translators missed, but it builds and demonstrates certain kinds of abilities and readiness.

Seeing it any other way, using it any other way, is a conceptual error with the usual outcomes.

I think there is great potential in using the Treaty of Tlatelolco as a mechanism for pooling national resources to advance nuclear energy in Latin America.
