"the fallacy of intent—assuming that if things turned out a certain way, someone planned it that way."
"Deserve has nothing to do with it." Unforgiven
My particular bone of contention with "no one follows the old rules" for filibusters or other policy practice is that Moneyball changed everything several years ago. Every seat is gerrymandered because with census data and mapping algorithms every voter can be place individually in a population of like-minded individuals. With the filibuster, a handy tool exists to stop legislation. In each case the intention of the persons that coined the procedure does not matter at all. This is the fallacy of intent.
