First:

"To now suggest that TPL/PTSC were so afraid of validity being decided by a jury that they folded on the eve of the trial and settled for nothing other than bearing their own respective costs, at what would appear a substantial loss, makes me think of Aesop or the Brothers Grimm."

And then:

"I humbly suggest that any decisions should be based on what is both known, and, more importantly, independently verifiable.".

Which is it?
