At 26:53 Prof. Deepak Malholtra mentions the Star Trek The Next Generation example "Yes, provisionally...". I went searching for this video and found a 3-part series. Other videos seem to do a full analysis of the entire scene/context/setting, but the 3-part series I found just gets right to the point. If you're interested in watching the trial scene, here are the links: Star Trek TNG -- Humanity on Trial (Part 1 of 3), a 3m22s clip that sets the trial scene of the judge entering the court: th-cam.com/video/CCIT7XXxxRk/w-d-xo.html Star Trek TNG -- Humanity on Trial (Part 2 of 3), a 3m12s clip where the statement is made "Soldiers, you will press those triggers if this criminal answers with any word other than guilty": th-cam.com/video/BRymGSc3MZY/w-d-xo.html Star Trek TNG -- Humanity on Trial (Part 3 of 3), a 2m56s clip that shows Pricard's response "Guilty....Provisionally": th-cam.com/video/ZF0Ien1amAE/w-d-xo.html On a side note, it was cool to see the actor who played Shang Tsung in it. PS: that research diversion took a lot longer than I intended :O hope you appreciate it
