I have already suggested under a 10% chance of Teva prevailing. I have also argued the philosophical basis for such a ruling.

Being quantitative about each of the four avenues to a legal victory, even if your numbers are wild guesses, imposes a degree of mental discipline you simply can’t achieve with qualitative musings. Until you can put some rough numbers on the table for discussion as I did, I can’t take your pronouncements on this matter seriously.
