I think that's why we have a trial. Because all kinds of human interactions sometimes turn south and the parties involved think the original intent was something else and but for that mistake it would have been achieved and they wouldn't have suffered damages. Maybe we should change the name from a "lawsuit" to "A method of gathering information and sorting out whether a party was at fault when people have a disagreement and whether that fault resulted in damages that should be compensated". Much better. “This Monday morning quarterbacking is the same thing a lot of doctors go through when they make a judgment call and are sued for malpractice due to a bad outcome.”

But what if Manning got a perfect snap from center and had control of the ball and then dropped it? What if it was raining and the ball was a little slippery but all of the other pros and even some college players were able to handl it? A judgment call is one thing.
