The parable comes from the New Testament, and probably from Egypt and Babylon
before that. Of course the courts damages assessed used to be much more severe
than today. Why we don't even have a debtor's prison anymore, but instead a get
out of jail mostly free process. It's such a sweet deal they had to limit how
often you use the process.

The parable goes something like this, resolve your dispute amicably before you
get to the court. But if you wind up in court, go for the jury if you can. The
judge will usually be harder to fool in regards to the law. I can't help but
wonder, what this judge would have ruled, considering all the evidence she threw
out, but saw first. Given her initial reluctance to grant a sales ban.

Still Apple's team did a nice job snowing her.
