How Does Precedent Work?

It seems like the way it should work is that the relevant features of the original decision, like in the case of the boats without the owner around, would be carried forward. But so what people go to loskull for and make big bucks figuren how to do is arguing about which features are the relevant onces.

Ah, but, but, so fighting about these kinds of analogies is big,. part of the, big, part of the fun of law school is therelike a kind of game of telephone type process that happens.
