I don't know about that. You seem to be presuming he believes the argument and considers it a winner. I'd tend to think he was looking for positions that are at least facially legally defensible, because any dispute (even when it finally went public) would likely not get resolved until after he was out of office. So, he will have succeeded in his principal goal -- historical secrecy as to what HE did -- even though future VP's go back to normal procedures.
