Samsung has not denied that Apple got their information from odd shaped men
found wandering near Roswell.

Under some circumstances negative evidence is useful and allows one to reach
sensible conclusions, more often it provides evidence that stupidity is far too
common.

It does smell a bit, doesn't it? If they have
nothing to hide, why wriggle? I know it is not
legal tradition to give your opponent anything
without a fight, but this is stretching it.
If they didn't know, it would be rather stupid
in this situation not to just say so. Apple's
current course of action makes them look shifty.

That is, I think, and I think PJ thinks, that Apple is doing what it's doing for

ulterior motives....that is the real point of this is to destroy Android and
make way for A company based in Redmond to enter the market for non-
desktop computing.

Under this lense, the strategy of making the litigation as expensive as
possible for your opponent, including especially tying up valuable top
management attention at Samsung and Google, at all costs, makes sense.

However, as others note, Apple may have taken this strategy a bit too far
here, turning a possible victory into a highly probable defeat. Of course,
that ensures that Apple can appeal, prolonging the foolishness, whereas if
they win a small victory, Samsung can decide its cheaper and better to
move on....ending the nonsense.

P.S. I invite contradictory or confirming evidence, since I am basing all of
this on circumstantial evidence, which isn't terribly reliable.
