As an aside, many people have trouble understanding that a lot of legal proceedings are about meta-level issues (whether and how a case can proceed, as opposed to the merits).
I'm not sure I agree. Many legal doctrines, especially procedural doctrines (like jurisdiction), are justified based on knock-on effects. But that is different than recursive analysis.
Or, to use LW terminology, meta != decision-theoretic reasoning.
I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I was simply making the point that many people don't understand the difference between procedural issues and substantive ones.
Fair enough. I'm just allergic to invocations of "meta" to explain complicated things.
Which is incredibly ironic, given my original post. :)
