Question for the lawyers - are their questions that judges ask of lawyers that are intentionally set such as to elicit truthful answers about the lawyers own opinion about their own case - because to answer untruthfully just penalizes you in a different way?

I wouldn't even be surprised if this category of dilemma-esque questions has a name.

Reading too much into the judge's question. The Judge is trying to elicit answers. Judges are sometimes like waiters at the table. They want to know what YOU WANT or what YOU NEED. And any experienced attorney knows that it is best to tell them exactly what you want and need and not leave it up to the judge to decide.

In this particular scenario, MNTA actually put itself at risk by saying one month (unless they actually meant it). Amphastar, not sure of the psychological impact it might have, but no, I don't believe the judge would believe them on this, and in that regard, it was probably a stupid response to give, even in the context of trying to defeat the PI.
