Re: EDIT Another interpretation is that the plaintiffs were well aware of how weak their case was with regards to the outputs and basically planned on abandoning it from the start. There's been more than a bit of showmanship from the plaintiff's counsel so I'm not surprised that the actual legal tactics differ from the rhetoric of the blog posts. It's also common to stack the complaint so that when the judge does start focusing on the key issues that maybe a little more ends up at trial than otherwise. There's winning in the court of public opinion and then there's winning in a Federal court.
