Reason for
?

?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Beyond reasonable doubt requires specific evidence of defendant's conduct harming plaintiff, not probabilistic inference from market position.

Reasons Against

Reason against
?
1.
With 90% market share, statistical probability strongly favors the defendant caused harm in any given case, meeting high confidence thresholds.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Market dominance enables and incentivizes harmful conduct; near-monopoly control creates causal likelihood exceeding reasonable doubt standards.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
In mass tort scenarios, 90% market share establishes rebuttable presumption of causation, shifting burden appropriately to defendant.
