'This judgement is both detailed and important, but the parts that are detailed are not important and those that are important are not detailed'

IN SUMMARY
This article offers five reasons for this conclusion:
Supreme Court’s reliance on backward looking, mean-spirited, cramped
Nigerian precedent.
Tolerant and uncritical acceptance of the IEBC’s explanations on the
voter registers.
Lack of clarity about IEBC’s duty to ensure that final results could be
verified against provisional results.
The Court’s use of subsidiary legislation to limit the meaning of “votes
cast,” an unambiguous phrase in the Constitution.
The evidential foreclosure that the Court imposes on itself by taking
judicial notice of technology failures instead of treating IEBC as
spurious.
Sadly, as the saying is, in this judgment, the Supreme Court has only given
us reasons that sound good, not good, sound reasons.

Maybe you should read the whole article first. From your answers it appears you may have not.
