Excuse my ignorance, but are you saying then that errors in findings of fact are non appealable?

Grounds for an Appeal does include errors of fact.


From the Wikipedia -




" An appellate court is a court that hears cases on appeal from another court. Depending on the

particular legal rules that apply to each circumstance, a party to a court case who is unhappy with the

result might be able to challenge that result in an appellate court on specific grounds. These grounds

typically could include errors of law, fact, or procedure (in the United States, due process).

In different jurisdictions, appellate courts are also called appeals courts, courts of appeals, superior

courts, or supreme courts. "

You are correct. w was not impressed as I had thought. I re-read the decision.

Nevertheless it is a milestone that the chief expert witness was impeached. Also the fact that both sides were aware of this is a very disturbing revelation.
