If the Time article had the detail i request, certainly the screeds would have quoted it.

It's a free country. Type a plausible search into Google yourself and you may find all sorts of interesting stuff.

Oh, you're wily!
I say what you've shown lacks context and detail. You tell me if only I'd google more, the "facts" would come out. Basically, I am asked to ignore that you own google search didn't answer context or details, and suspend disbelief that mine will.
I am not willing to play your lawyer's trick games. What; if I find the "facts" to support your argument- great. If I fail to find any support, then it is not that your argument does not hold water. No! If I fail to find support for your position, it is merely that my google skills are suspect.
Judge:
Mr. Slothrop, I have here your motion for Summary judgement, that Plaintiff's claim is barred by laches. Your papers allege that certain conversations occurred, and started a clock running, but I do not see that you've pointed to the content of these conversations. For your point to be proven, isn't it to you to show such facts as to support your contention?
Mr. Slothrop:
i'm glad you asked me that , your honor. I have here the 28 boxes of documents that Plaintiff has produced in this matter, and I will leave the boxes here so the Court has access. I assure you that if you have your law clerk sort through these boxes those supporting facts you mention will be quite clear. You do have competant law clerks this year, don't you, your honor?
Judge:
Hmmm, oh. Yes, Yes! Quite adequate law clerks, I'm sure they will find this support you mention. Very well, i'm inclined to grant Mr. Slothrop's motion. I am troubled, Plaintiff, that you oppose this motion at all. Are you fantasizing about what happened here, and just how weak your client's case is?
