it may not be wise to publicly castigate the judge and their exparts submission (quoted in the message I am responding to), which was then quoted in the press, could be so interpreted.

I do not think you have to be cynical to read it that way. To go public saying the judge did not know what he was doing (decision missing a necessary predicate) is tactically foolish. Coming out in PR's and news releases is even worse than saying it in an argument. It just gives him reason to dig in.

I have watched attorneys kill any chance of winning by how they tell the judge he is wrong. It is a delicate matter. (It makes a lot of difference how the judge is constituted. Some do not mind at all being told they are wrong. Others take offense. One judge I liked a lot, would say, "Often in error, never in doubt". You could tell him he was wrong and he could weigh the arguments without taking it personally.)
