What we now know is that the jury was flat wrong to assume that this patent was valid.
Uh no...
I think this is a valid statement. He is saying we now know, as in hindsight. As in we thought they were wrong before to assume the patent was valid, and now we know it was wrong of them to assume it because we have conflicting evidence from the USPTO. Them being wrong does not assess their quality of work. Just says they were wrong. Surely you can agree that they were not correct to make that assumption. Logically that was a valid statement for OP to make.
The sole metric for the quality of their work are the jury instructions, and how well they have been met.
I think we can all agree that the jury did not follow directions regarding prior art. so in that respect, their quality of work was "shoddy."
So we got no new information here regarding the quality of jury work.
That is correct, and the OP statet that in his own post
You're right that we didn't get new information about what a shoddy job the jury did--the foreman's reports have made it abundantly clear what a shoddy job the jury did.
We did not get any "new" information. We did however confirm our previous assumption that the jury work was "shoddy."

IANAL
