That isn't even vaguely logical. It's just a sunk cost fallacy with disconnected wishful thinking as some sort of qualifier for future decisions. People are sad because they voluntarily devoted too much time in somebody's else private garden and the owner changed some rules. They wish they can sue, wish that lawsuit does not get dismissed, wish that this may provide some financial leverage, and then wish that leverage may return things to the prior status quo. In economics you cannot regain costs that occurred in the past. Attempts to do so only incur further expense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost
