A sentiment that a lawyer is so good they will overcome this challenge rather than conveying that the lawyer will prove the questions of law and fact resolve it in their favor... it just... well... seems like the kind of shit that's fo

There is a difference between questioning if a review process should exist for the official addon index and questioning if the implementation is any good. You address the former when it seems like the issue is the later.
