It seems reasonable to me that a firm with a great track record of judgments is more likely to succeed in other significant areas than a firm without a similarly great track record of judgments. That is, I would expect a strong, positive correlation between winning judgments and other desirable outcomes in disputes, like winning settlements.

We could even measure that correlation through a representative sample of firms to prove or disprove that hypothesis (and the OP probably should), but dismissing it outright with hyperbole isn't an effective response.
