1) Firstly, [citation needed]. The voice of a hivemind on particular forums is not any kind of data point given that the vast majority of developers don't post anywhere. Further, note that most people on these forums live in a very specific bubble, and seem to suffer a type of Dunning-Kreuger effect regarding either 1) IP, 2) law, 3) programming, or any combination of these.
2) Doesn't matter; a passage like this destroys all his credibility:
> Rather, Google said two separate things: (a) they did not copy any material (other than rangeCheck), and (b) admitted that the names and declarations are the same, not because Google copied those names and declarations from Oracle's own work, but because they perform the same functions. In other words, Google makes various arguments of why those names and declarations look the same, but for reasons other than “mundane cut-and-paste copying from Oracle's copyrighted works”.
2) This is not what the OP tried to explain.
