The flip side: The lawyers at this level are much better communicators than
random university profs.

Yeah, sorry, I don't share your worries. Looking at the report, and having done some assembly programming in college in the 70s, I think Google is doing a very good job of clearly showing why Dalvik does what it does differently than the jvm. From my limited experience on a couple of jurys, I believe two things: jury members do work hard to focus on understanding the testimony and the law as the Judge instructs, and the testimony that is clearest and most sensible gets more credibility. Questions which bring forth clarity are far more effective than questions which hinge on nitpicking.

The common perception is that good lawyering is about making things confusing and it's the exact opposite.

I'm now trying to imagine taking a bunch of completely random people off the street who probably have no interest in or aptitude for the subject...
Not quite "completely random people off the street...", more "random people off the street selected for knowing nothing in the subject..."

There are bound to be patents on esoteric aspects of quantum computers.
