If a patent clerk is confused by the patent, then it should be rejected not granted. The whole premise of the patent process it that you disclose your invention for the good of the population and in return you are granted a temporary monopoly over your invention. I would never, ever, reference a software patent in order to implement a patented invention. They do not serve as any usable guide for the so called "invention." Therefore they are a perversion of the patent process and should not be granted.
