The threat of a lawsuit is often a bigger weapon that the lawsuit itself.
If I threaten to sue, many will be cowed by the thought of an expensive fight.
If my grounds are not a slam dunk, the possibility exists that I might
lose the lawsuit and thus the use of that weapon for all time.
Most armies do not want to go to war. They just want the enemy to
think that they will.
