It wasn't the $700 dude you have to know that.

I'm aware. The idea is it had to escalate for him to get to the point of suing them. If they'd just eaten the cost, it most likely wouldn't have gone to court or come to light. Was my comment reductive? Sure.. but that was the point.

Yes it's very circular.

You know it had nothing to do with the $700, it had to do with not opening precedent to a flood of future lawsuits.

I probably would not have replied the way I initially did, but you framed it a $700, and it has nothing to do with it.
