The Foreman's Aha Moment in Apple v. Samsung Was Based on Misunderstanding Prior Art ~pj

>> and so have no clue what you're talking about

I'm not a quantum physicist, so I have no clue about the wave-particle duality
of matter even though I have read a number of QM books.

OK, or even, I am not a car mechanic, so I have no clue about fuel injection.

I think you are going a little tooooo far to suggest PJ (or any studied reader)
would have no clue but for the lawyers she consults on specific questions.

The Foreman's Aha Moment in Apple v. Samsung Was Based on Misunderstanding Prior Art ~pj

If I don't know something, I always do ask, and
that's been true from almost the very beginning.
Paralegals work under lawyers, never just flying
solo, in that their work has to be signed off on
by the attorneys. In real life, if they know you
well, the trust level can become quite high,
but it's still the lawyer that takes the lead.

And that's appropriate in that lawyers went to
law school. But paralegals tend to know the
process extremely well, because they usually are
the ones that implement things like filing with
courts and forms and things like that. And
Groklaw is about process, about how the system
works. And I do know quite a lot about that, but
I always ask or I research if I have any doubt.
My goal has always been to provide urls to
resources, so you can check them to verify that
what I'm telling you is true. On this article, for
example, I didn't run it until I had found a
lawyer noticing the same problem I did, and
you see the url near the top of the article, and also
I took the time to pick the brain of a lawyer/professor,
to make sure. This is quite important, and I
know it has to be right.

People from the early SCO days have been paid to
attack me. Recently, it's picked up again quite
noticeably. I would suggest that you do your own
analysis. And then look at my record. Groklaw does
tend to get things right, even though most of
the world told me I didn't know what I was talking
about in the SCO saga. But in the end, I was exactly
correct. It's not bias. It's expertise and
real carefulness, plus the necessary ingredient, in
my opinion, that when I make a mistake, I highlight
it right here.

Groklaw isn't a propaganda site. We sincerely want
it to be accurate.
