Two are better than one

טובים השנים מהאחד:

Two perspectives are infinitely better than a single perspective.

A single witness interprets reality subjectively.  The witness is trapped within his own ideas.  To bring the witness from the world of ideas to the world of action the judges ground the witness in time and space, where and when.  These are the two components of speech actions, commitment to a time and place.

A second witness with testimony in common with the first witness creates a new joint reality.  This new reality is binding on others because it exists outside of a single person.

Bindings can be created when one expands beyond subjective limits.  Between Man and God the binding is conditioned on the individual’s acceptance and commitment.  Between society and man there exists a different set of conditions, a community can bind individuals against their will.
