The researchers in this very study identify ways to “induce” deliberation‚ two of which clearly apply here: time and opinion writing. About 140 days (~4.7 months) passed between oral argument in U.S. Airways and the delivery of written opinions.

Kant argues against the ontological proof by stating that ‘god is perfect’ does not hold since god’s perfection is contingent upon god’s existence; the argument is tautological.
