Just to note that I had not read your post before I responded right below that post, some time later. That is we both identified the obvious failing of Mr. Land’s ruling independently. And it is so terrible a failing of a ruling that I refuse to use Judge rather than “Mr.”

You are polite. I usually refer to Land as the Parturiunt Adjudicator.

What did Mr. Land labor so hard at? This is a ridiculous ruling, there is no labor in it. You are right. Mr. is too elevated a title for the man who gives such a ruling. “Occupant” then!
