I do understand your point, and I try to identify the source within my post. If it should ever be alerted, the jury needs to see this and hopefully they will have a better understanding. (The link you provide in your post isn't normally provided to the jury.)

I've been on a lot of juries lately, and it seems more often the replies are alerted rather than the original post.
