Right, which is why I had my second paragraph. It is far too easy to assume the pedal is completely moved to one end. I think it is fair to question judgements of people. Even judges and article authors. Do we have any way of assessing how fair these judgements were? Do you have any way of showing that the DOJ was trying to get a "free ride" on revealing trade secrets?
