Adversarial legal systems were not necessarily designed to be role models of rational groups. They are more like a way to give opposing biased adversaries an incrementally fairer way of fighting it out than existed previously.
I’m guessing scientific institutions don’t do this because the people involved feel they are less biased (and probably actually are) than participants in a legal system.
Nominating adversarial legal systems as role models of rational groups, knowing how well they function in practice, seems a bit misplaced.

But are they better than inquisitorial legal systems?
