Apparently you did miss something, the idea that different judges can look at the same facts and come up with very different opinions. Having two out of three agree on something means that two of three agreed, not that the third judge's opinion is unworthy of consideration. Maybe in Australia, the judges that aren't in the majority resign their posts since they are unworthy. Doesn't work like that in the US.
Nice try for at a misdirection though.
