Talk about burying the lede! Even though he starts off by saying the data confirms the "parallel construction" theory, he proceeds to poke a hole in the defense's claim - that someone wouldn't have been able to access the login page (I am too tired to determine whether or not he's correct about this), and then proposes a possible mechanism (scanning the entire Internet for pages containing a term) which, although it would technically constitute "parallel construction" in that it wasn't mentioned by the prosecution, need not have anything to do with the NSA and could have been done (with enough time) by anyone.
If he's right that the quoted configuration file doesn't do what the defense said it did as part of their accusations of lying, they've seriously messed up, no matter what the truth is.
