He either lied, or was oblivious!

You can see the Dunning-Kruger effect at work in almost every episode of the Weakest Link. Even with immediate feedback, the very weakest contestants are unable to determine who the most capable contestants are.

All of those is possible to my mind. My guess is for your number 3, but instead of Dunning-Kruger, I'd substitute the Vogt/Wilson Right Man Syndrome. The initial court documents probably said ten years, and when his questioning stopped after the first case he decided that it did not matter because the others were more than ten years ago.

I'm not trying to excuse him of course, but I don't think this is a lone gunman out to bring down the massive Samsung and shore up the failing patent system with his bare hands.
