Pardon me, but I believe this would be a "point of information" (aka request) rather than a "point of order" which should refer to a procedural matter rather than factual. For reference of course I would refer you to Robert's Rules of Order: ▶ this video
Fans of The Wire will of course be reminded of this classic scene where an early 2000s West Baltimore crack gang adopts Rules of Order to lend a professional approach to their meetings: ▶ this video
There is a comic I remember from my childhood, "Tom the Dancing Bug" written by Ruben Bolling. He had a character called "Harvey Richard, Lawyer for Children". I linked a couple of examples [1], [2], [3], [4] but the satire, IMO, is incredible. It lampoons humanities proclivity to layer pseudo-rationality onto the irrational things that we do. It also reminds me of the TV show "The Wire" when Stringer Bell, a senior member of a street drug distribution ring of urban thugs, forces them to conduct their meetings using Rules of Order. [5] If you watch to the end, you see that in those circumstances order means nothing, it is just a facade. I guess you could say that I'm cynical about the prospects of such a court and I tend to see the underlying truth in the satires that point it out. 1. link 2. link 3. link 4. link 5. ▶ this video
