It is interesting that there is nowhere in that article that states
that it describes United States law (except a brief mention of the
states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Utah) - even in the large series box
on the right-hand side of the article. This appears to be a fine
example of systemic bias[0] (or more specifically, American Cultural
Assumption[1]) in action.
