IMHO much of this stems from an inability to impose a standard of 
relevance on evidence.  If you are discussing someone's specific 
wrongdoing, it is usually completely irrelevant for an accuser to bring 
up an event that was settled last year.  So too is the accused's 
behaviour toward a third person who is not part of the case.  That third 
person may have a higher tolerance level for silliness.
