Motions to dismiss/strike are fantastic examples of legal tactics lawyers immediately throw out when they underestimate the other side's knowledge. Thankfully, the bar to strike or dismiss is extraordinarily high for the judges, so these amount to little more than a delay, and if used in excess could be grounds for an abuse of process claim. I've personally been awarded substantial court costs due to frivolous filings by state actors. The payoff at the end, where you receive an actionable judgement, is always worth the marathon. Even if you lose, the lessons learned are extraordinarily valuable in future encounters.
