I don't think anyone is "dumb" about their view of what is revealed by these transcripts, but you do have to read between the lines. Each side will press whatever buttons and boundaries to accomplish their agenda. I see a normal exchange between legal minds. I don't think either side is doing anything other than what they feel is 'best' for the 'side' they represent. I don't think anyone is acting outside the boundaries of what they are ALL familiar with. This is their normal adversarial terms of reference and behavior. The problem for K&C is their 'adversary' did not fall asleep at the wheel (as can so often happen with unconcerned attorneys). I have to admire Lin Wood for being alert and responsive to the actions of "the other side".
