This is the third comment in this thread along these lines- Isn't this just splitting hairs? Is there any significant percentage of defendants in such cases that have judgements like this against them that don't actually appeal and just write a check on the spot? I am asking honestly here- I am not sure if this is just typical engineer type "well actually..." type stuff going on, or if some attempt to downplay and discredit the judgement.
