Equitable estoppel relates to fairness! WTF

Am I understanding this correctly? SAM's equitable estoppel defense regarding the existance of an implied contract is based on the un-f'ing believable premise that it would be unfair to SAM unless the convoluted Fremch contract framework that does not include mutual consideration is allowed to be enforced. My goodness, if that is why Levi says no violation, he is an absolute moron. I cannot believe Judge Luckern will buy into that defense. There may be other reasons to conclude not violation, but if that defense succeeds then either me or the legal system is FUBAR.

Speaking of Mr. Levi, as I read the transcripts, the staff appeared to be pretty wishy washy. Had very little to say, often said in essence "whatever you think Judge" and did not show much conviction or confidence in his own opinions (and with good reason IMO).
