But Disney also didn't present anything. Can the court case really be decided based on only expert witnesses?

  I've been avoiding giving an answer in case someone who knew better than me came around (open invitation), but afaik expert testimony is evidence and the case is decided on the best evidence. So why not? You'll have to do some work to establish the expertise of the witness, and the opposing side might attack those credentials and such and they'll probably produce their own expert rather than just rolling over, but in principle you could have an entire case that consists of various expert testimony. I don't think the suggestion is meant to be that this is a realistic scenario though, just that the court isn't as mechanical and naive as we programmers are prone to imagining (being stewards of systems that are largely mechanical and naive). IANAL
