We understand it, and we are smart enough to know it doesn't play well in the press. Or, that if you have two things you are up against, and you can get out of one only if A is true, and you can get out of the other only if Not A is true, then perhaps either A or Not A will be res judicata, or whatever that's called?
But mostly, it's the disgust that people have when someone tries to pull this shit that I think, historically, will be dispositive.
