We Do Not Presume a Defect from One Place to Another
Question
“We do not presume a defect from one place to another” — why?
Answer
This is not essentially different from the principles of the current presumption and the prior presumption. When there is reason to attribute the change to the change of place, we do so. And indeed, when there is no basis for attributing it that way—for example, when the defect is in the object itself—then we do presume it.
