I am increasingly getting the impression that you've never been involved in actual patent litigation. The process is messy, but the assumption that judges, particularly Federal judges, are stupid and are unable to understand and interpret expert testimony is, shall we say, counterfactual. Perhaps this would be a good time to declare this particular horse beating party to be concluded.
