I think you've got it figured out. Even though they look like a duck, walk like a duck, talk like a duck and am a duck. They won't admit they are a duck. It doesn't really matter because the jury knows a duck from a chicken.
They are just being thorough attorneys. You never know which argument a judge may find convincing, and they only need one. This will be a good gauge on how the trial will go...
Damn!! you are a smart fellow!! I think you hit the nail on the head with that one swing of the hammer!! And, that my friend, is why some lawyers get rich beyond our wildest dreams!!
I also believe my investment here is NOT dead money!!! I have owned shares here since I think 2003. What a ride!!!!!!!!
