I'm having a hard time understanding the "You don't go to trial if you're not sure of your position" rule.

LU sues NN (Goliath v. David): LU is being a brow-beating lawyer-driven opportunist; NN's decision to not settle is proof that NN is in the right and will prevail because YDGTTIYNSOYP.

ECI sues TXN (David v. Goliath): ECI is being a brow-beating lawyer-driven opportunist; TXN's decision to not settle is proof that TXN is in the right and will prevail because YDGTTIYNSOYP.

ALA v. ORCT (Goliath v. David): ALA is being a brow-beating lawyer-driven opportunist? ORCT's decision to not settle and let the matter be resolved in the courts is proof that ORCT is in the right and will prevail because YDGTTIYNSOYP?

A hypothetical:

TXN sues ORCT (Goliath v. David) over ADSL patents. ORCT elects to not settle and let the matter be resolved in the courts. Would this be proof of ORCT's being in the right and will prevail because YDGTTIYNSOYP? Is TXN being a brow-beating lawyer-driven opportunist?

Your comments over the years have always led me to believe you'd back TXN in such a suit but YDGTTIYNSOYP suggests you'd expect ORCT to prevail.

Does YDGTTIYNSOYP only apply to defendants but not to plaintiffs?
