Agreed, there are extremes in all directions and most detract.

Regarding the suit, I've had several cases in court, not patent related, and can atest that cases are sometimes carried forward even if the result is clear. In todays environment, for example, a litigant with a position in the market might earn enough to pay their anticipated costs. That would justify as much delay as possible. It can also be a negotiating posture when one party has far more resources than the other. Just a couple of examples of factors which can affect the approach to a legal proceeding. I don't suggest that these are factors here, but we can't assume that delay is not a valid strategy.
