There are extremes when talking about the legal system. One is people telling others to sue for anything that offends them. The other is people like the above telling you that you can never win a lawsuit against a company because money is the only thing that matters.
The truth is complicated and it actually depends on the individual facts and merits of the case (duh). Blanket statements about a system as complex as a legal system are rarely ever true.
Is there a reason why comments on HN so quickly go to to " you said X but X is not always true" direction? Is there something inherent in the nature of HN readers making them gravitate towards seeing absolutism that was never there?
