The biggest problem people have with identifying conspiracy theories is the mistaken idea that a conspiracy theory is just a fancy word for something that is wrong. It's actually a failure in logic and skepticism, a failure in thinking rationally. When you don't have certainty, you need skepticism

THE COURT: You are mistaken, sir. You are exploring new limits of mistaken that were previously thought only hypothetical.

THE COURT: If I did a search of the entire Westlaw database and put in the Poly-America name and this 2020 Westlaw cite, I'm not going to find another court in the land who actually cited this case because it doesn't exist, right? MR. FELDMAN: Correct, your Honor. THE COURT: So what possessed you to think that you could?

What did possess him. This is such a good question.

THE COURT: You're suggesting to me that somewhere in the docket of Poly-America LP v. API Industries is a decision that supports your point, but you simply cited to the wrong case in the docket? MR. FELDMAN: No. It was a different case with a very similar name. THE COURT: But that's not the same case. The actual cite, sir, that you have here is to a case called McCoy v. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 Case 1:24-CV-09429-KPF Document 223 Filed 10/20/25 Page 45 of 97 P8MRFLYC 45 Burress. It is from the District of Kansas, and it talks about the timeliness of motions and relation back, which has nothing to do with any of the issues in that case. MR. FELDMAN: The reporter that I cited to was incorrect. THE COURT: Sir, it's not a reporter. It's an unreported decision on Westlaw. MR. FELDMAN: Westlaw is a reporter, if I'm not mistaken.

STOP CORRECTING THE COURT OH MY FUCKING GOD

THE COURT: Sir, there are multiple cases in your submission that do not exist. MR. FELDMAN: So each one of them has a -- I did not address them in my brief, each one, although I would have addressed it if the Court wanted me to, and I put that in my -- THE COURT: You're here now. I wanted to understand. Are you acknowledging, sir, that you never read any of these cases, that these were embedded cites in other things that you picked up? Did you ever click on Poly-America — P-o-1-y-America v. API Industries, Inc., a supposed Eastern District from 2020, did you click on that Westlaw cite, and what did you find? MR. FELDMAN: So I couldn't access that Westlaw cite. THE COURT: Then why did you cite it, sir? MR. FELDMAN: Because there was a similar case that was relevant that I thought was -- when I was looking for the citation, I thought that that was the right case. THE COURT: So this mystifies me, sir. You're suggesting that when you couldn't access a case, which, by the way, you could because you could have gone to the law library and used Westlaw to figure out that these cases existed.

MR. FELDMAN: You can only go during the hours that the court is open. THE COURT: Yes. MR. FELDMAN: Right. And at that point in time, I was working on actually getting the facts straight from what was going on at Amazon. So I couldn't do two things at once. I could work at my computer, or I could go to the court. And at that time, I had no more budgeted time because Friday, which was the Friday before, I was not able to find out any more information. So I was basically left on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That week I had my children's graduations THE COURT: Stop. Stop. Do not suggest, sir, that you get to put aside your professional responsibilities to the Court because of your children's graduation. MR. FELDMAN: Absolutely not. THE COURT: But you are still not answering my questions, which is getting to the point of being frustrating. Look, if you don't want to be straight with me, if you don't want to answer questions with candor, that's fine. I'll just make my own decisions about what I think you did in this case. I'm giving you an opportunity to try and explain something that I think cannot be explained.

Holy sweet mother of god

MR. FELDMAN: OK so -- OK. Your Honor, I don't remember what I was saying before. Is it possible to read back the record? THE COURT: No. You were parsing something out for me, and what I was suggesting to you was that it was ill-advised for you to cite cases by finding something other case mentioning that case and then seeing the citation contained in it.

“No.”

THE COURT: I don't understand why you would do that. What you're saying is if there is a decision that exists, it's an unreported decision. It exists only with a Lexis cite or Westlaw cite because there's no reporter that cites it. Are you suggesting that what you wanted to do is find some other case citing that case? MR. FELDMAN: Which I would do. THE COURT: Why would you do that? It doesn't tell you what the case says. That tells you what some other court thought the case said, but that's not a legitimate way of cite checking or doing research. MR. FELDMAN: Absolutely. It's definitely not. I would parse that out. THE COURT: You keep saying "parse that out." I find that interesting, sir. Go ahead and parse that, but then you are going to explain to me how you put together the actual brief in support of your motion to dismiss in this case.

I’m gonna be so honest this is probably where I would have just left and turned in my bar card

THE COURT: OK. And you said a few moments ago that sometimes when you had a larger submission, that might determine whether you went to the library. I want to make sure I understand that correctly. MR. FELDMAN: Correct. THE COURT: So perhaps if you had a one-paragraph letter you were writing to the Court, you might not make your way to the law library. But for an actual brief, you would go to the library and do a brief search and cite checking at the library? MR. FELDMAN: Correct. THE COURT: All right. MR. FELDMAN: I mean, if I felt that it was necessary to do a cite check. THE COURT: All right.

So I probably would not put on the record, under oath, in federal court, that I don’t always cite check my filings. That’s just me though!

MR. FELDMAN: Well, it's not paginated the same way. So, Mr. MacMull, thank you for your message regarding -- THE COURT: Don't read it into the record, sir. MR. FELDMAN: So I wrote: Many of the citations were drawn from a repository of many cases I compiled in connection with Amazon cases. Right? THE COURT: Yes. MR. FELDMAN: Since I was first retained in this and similar matters. THE COURT: OK. So what is the repository? MR. FELDMAN: Including older decisions that have shaped the legal framework relevant to the claims at issue. Some of those -- THE COURT: Sir, I specifically told you not to read this into the record. I'm asking you a very simple question. What is the repository to which you refer?

I love to disobey an explicit court order approximately four seconds later

THE COURT: Now, was that the third level of cooperation that you were talking about? MR. FELDMAN: No. That's still the first level. THE COURT: We're still on level one. MR. FELDMAN: Level one, which is, I would say, the strategic coordination. THE COURT: OK. Have we exhausted level one? I just want to know what two, three, and four are. MR. FELDMAN: All right. I can anticipate questions, so I apologize. So I'm trying to focus on what I think is the best view, in my belief, since I am trying to be as accurate as possible. THE COURT: Of course. MR. FELDMAN: And since this is a theory that I have, I'm presenting it as best as I can on the fly. THE COURT: Of course. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 Case 1:24-cv-09429-KPF Document 223 P8MRFLYc Filed 10/20/25 Page 10 of 97 10 My point, sir, is you said to me at some point that there were four levels of cooperation that attorneys can do. And then you talked about discussions of overall strategy positions and the possibility of me-tooing arguments. I did not know whether those were three things or one thing. You've now told me they are one thing. For my own completeness, may I know if, I'm allowed to, what levels two, three, and four are in your four levels of cooperation?

I would pay cash money and several Lego sets for audio of this hearing

Fixating on a single thing to "prove" is VERY common in science deniers and cranks and quacks.

They think, "If we can be right about THIS, it proves that the establishment is wrong and corrupt."

They are still mad about decisions made 5 years ago and are trying to prove themselves right.

The HPV vaccine has prevented more cancer than any medical intervention in history after tobacco control. It's been studied in 70+ randomized trials. Now a reconstituted ACIP wants to reexamine whether it works.
