The lower court can set a precedent too.

  It can, but it made a summary judgment. My understanding is that precedent isn't set with a summary judgement.

    The upper court's opinion was a summary judgement the lower court wasn't: https://blog.cloudflare.com/bye-bye-blackbird/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/bye-bye-blackbird/

      The lower court dismissed the case following a preliminary motion before trial... How is that not considered a summary judgement? Edit: a dismissal is even less precedential than a summary judgement, as summary judgements come after discovery, unlike dismissals.
