It's not "fatalistic", it's "fine" this way.

A judge doesn't have to know what mozilla is before a trial starts. Council can tell them what it is, how/whether it matters to the case, etc.

It's the lawyers that have the duty to inform the judge. You can't rely on every judge knowing everything about all topics. And they don't really need to..

I know what you're saying, and I understand it. But again, I'm not talking about how I perceive it, but how the other commenter described it ("we're doomed!") And like you, I thought it was an overreaction.
