It's important to emphasize that judges don't really consider things like peer-reviewed research. That's not their field of expertise, so they are to stay out of it.

What they DO do is look at whether agencies followed their procedures, whether the *agencies* considered peer-reviewed evidence when required by procedure.

The courts will say exactly why they reject the agency's position and give both the agency and Congress the errors they'd need to consider to try again.
