Because the Court also fails to differentiate among the different circumstances in which presumptions may be utilized and the different consequences which will follow, I feel it necessary to say a few words on that subject before considering specifically the validity of the use of these presumptions in the light of the circumstances and consequences of their use.
There are many accidents from which no presumption of negligence can arise.
A second, more modest, approach would be to define circumstances in which the presumption is appropriate.
The movie is infected with a mild case of Christophernolanitis, in which the presumption of importance yields grimness and bombast.

The other half of the inequality-reducing work has to be done through policies on competition, technology and jobs, all fields in which the presumption has long been that the market knows best.

Where the requirements for service connection are met during service, the effective date will be the day following separation from service if there was continuous active service following the period of service on which the presumption is based and a claim is received within 1 year after separation from active duty.
