The whole decision treats the concept of "statutory ambiguities" as something that can exist stripped of context, pure legal abstractions floating in the ether, rather than specific technical questions that people other than judges might have expertise in. Infuriating.

I'm sure there are many, but I would like to know: What would you say are the *best examples* in which knowledge of the science is necessary in order to properly resolve a statutory ambiguity? The first thing to come to mind are the debates about "the waters of the United States"; not sure though.
