I read the court documents and believe that you are correct. It was my fault for reading the secondary summary and not the primary source.[0]
Tangentially, I don't think the last sentence in your third paragraph is a fair characterization and, frankly, unhelpful to your argument. I wasn't purposefully "concocting a hypothetical fantasy." I misunderstood Uber's relationship with its drivers, which I should have done more research on, but a simple correction would have sufficed.
