1 In the sentence quoted Gottlieb speaks of “both” and in the next, without warning, of “the three” techniques. In The Use of Logic etc. the reviewer tried to be some what clearer, but he was dealing mainly with formal justification—a simpler matter. He said that the judge may be “preferring one of the two or three slices of the problematical sandwich before him. That is to say his choice is between two slices only if one considers the final result.… His choice is between three slices however, if one considers the procedure of reasoning or the avenue of justification”. The Use of Logic in Legal Reasoning (Amsterdam, 1966) 14.
