Inside the chamber, the American elite assembled for the arguments that most legal scholars had predicted wouldn't come. It was quite a sight, as warring parties had to cram together in the 400-seat hall.

"Bar charts weren't invented 250 years ago," says Peter Pirolli, Card's fellow psychologist. "Now we take them for granted. The same thing is happening with the computer. We're becoming more visual."
