In their defence, this is their only legal defence so they’re basically trying to worm their way out getting in trouble for being a liar so I’m not too sure they’re concerned about using made up and exaggerated statements for things that are subjective. It’s also a lawyer saying this, I’d argue that lawyers lean conservative but have no idea really. Also, from what I’ve seen when a liberal does this they’re weak and when a conservative does this it’s smart or playing the system, it’s always been a bad faith argument anyway
