Well not to fan the flames etc but a patent attorney presumably helped write
up the one click, and a patent examiner agreed that it was patent worthy.
Wiki also has some things to say about why patent standards are falling -
examinse are overworked, quota driven civil servants...

So just to say that even that it was granted demonstrates a failing in the
system.

I would point out that no one-click case has gone to trial, so no
expert has testified about anything, but why bother? Facts clearly
don't matter here.
