Under instrument flight rules pilots are taught to ignore all their physical sensations and perceptions of speed, attitude, up and down and only pay attention to the flight instruments. The instrument panel is reality. Simply because laws go unenforced doesn’t mean the law doesn’t exist. It doesn’t mean crimes aren’t being committed. A major point of a DOJ-in-Exile would be to serve as political society’s instrument panel in a period of public deception. Even when you can’t change the reality it is still critical to know what the reality is. It’s the only path to changing it.
