Here's a third option: this is a legal argument, and the cited facts are
the ones which support google's winning the case, regardless of the
technological facts.
I'm sure I don't have the expertise to judge on the technical details, but
I do think this is at least plausible as a third option. Under this
scenario, it'd be impossible to accept any of Google's trial arguments as
having any implications about Google's beliefs regarding the technology:
the only purpose of those statements is to win a trial.

Sure I've thought that legal arguments are a parallel world built mostly for attorneys to make money and not necessarily related to reality. But what I reported is not the discussion in the trial, it's the content of an internal email exchanged years ago among Page and some Google engineers, not in a trial context.
