Jurors take an oath to decide a case solely on the basis of the evidence presented in court.

Do you have any sort of domain knowledge beyond a layman that's relevant to the evidence? That literally means you can - and should be - dismissed for cause.

Of course, the end result is that we get decisions that fly in the face of logic... because we don't see the evidence tabla rasa.
