Kind of depends what they mean by this. Anyway, if they don't rule correctly, doesn't that just give the losing party ammo to put in their appeal?

Do you think judges should deliberately ignore the law and force litigants into the cost and time of an appeal?

Under the law, yes. But many litigants will never appeal due to either or both of the cost or/and frustration of continuing in the lawsuit.

It is also bizarre for a lawyer to prepare a case within the parameters of the law when the judge does not respect or adhere to the same parameters.
