Bros, saying precedent is a "black box" is straight-up factually incorrect. It’s public record, citable in every judgment. The real magic is the ratio decidendi vs. obiter dicta distinction. Instead of fearing the "black box," just learn to find the ratio. Once you get that, the whole doctrine clicks. Stop overthinking, start reading judgments properly. Class dismissed. 🎓⚖️
