So, I admit that this is a baseless claim. However, I searched law library Lexis and West Law for Benfords Law. Lexis only had 2 cases. Westland, had explanations of Benfords Law, but only had ONE case that used it. Why have the explanation, for just one case.
This is important, because to use B’s law, you must first establish that it is acceptable to use Bs law in that particular field. For instance, in software it had been established, but not for setting prices. I suspect that there are more cases, because I’ve seen references to it having been used in 2000 and 2004 elections, as well as Enron (admittedly those sources may have been unreliable).
Can anyone search hard copies or legal libraries for this information?
Benfords Law isn't a baseless claim. It is a tool used to identify areas of unusual activity, no matter what subject matter. It's not some bogus thing people just came up with overnight. But Benfords Law isn't something you use in court, it is just a tool used to find the areas that need investigating. The investigation is what turns up the fraud, not Benfords Law itself
I didn’t say Benfords law was, just me questioning the lack of case law I could find regarding it!
