Maybe you're right: they've gotten to the point where they've started believing their own propaganda.

I'm sure of that point. My friends at Microsoft spoke openly about neutralizing Corel and how integrating IE with Windows would help deal with Netscape. Another friend of mine had friends at Microsoft who talked about solving the Java threat by "embracing it to death." As Dr. Laura Schlessinger might say, they've become their own moral authority.

. Schmalenese testifies for Microsoft in *all* their antitrust cases, including the one where he used a definition of the relevant market which is at odds with the one he is using here. To the uninitiated, that makes it sound like Schmalenese is a litigation whore.

Question: I'm very aware that lawyers have a responsibility to present their client's case and/or version of 'the truth,' and that this version can be contradictory from one case to another. What is the ethichal responsibility of the hired expert witness? Are they supposed to present facts that support their client and leave it to the other side to try to dig out inconsistencies? Or are they supposed to be balanced and upfront on everything?
