So maybe they muffed it earlier
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, August 05 2012 @ 11:13 AM EDT
the additional point that rangeCheck slightly decreases performance, which I say 1) doesn't really have much significance compared to the argument that it's presence doesn't improve performance; 2) isn't in the record, so not applicable to a Rule 50(b) motion.

Your first point is highly debatable. If you tell me that something "doesn't improve performance" I will wonder why you felt compelled to copy it. If you tell me "we're glad Oracle pointed that out -- we used rangecheck (as the copyright license allows us to) internally for testing, and forgot to remove it when we shipped. But now that they let us know, we've removed it, and performance went up! Thanks again, Oracle!" then you've done several things: a) given me a plausible reason why it happened, b) explained in a believable way that you really removed it and didn't try to backdoor it back in, and c) explained, again in a plausible way, that it was a mistake.

Your point (2) is the entire point of the post you were responding to -- maybe they didn't muff it on this filing, but if that's true, all it means is that they muffed it earlier.

Look simple but very difficult to play well and will horribly confuse a novice
player used to chess. That might be the sort of environment at work.
