> But isn’t this reasonable since Samsung bringing up this lawsuit could be disastrous in harming their partnership with Google.

Sure, but you can't make the claim that Samsung is then being screwed over by Google.

> Not really their hardware partners.

Sure, and Samsung preloads its own browser today.

Why can't you? You can concede they would get more screwed by dirtying their relationship, without conceding that they are in a great relationship now.

> Why can't you?

Because you have no information to make that conclusion.

But if you want to make a wild guess, sure, go ahead.

So you don't have a logical reason people couldn't make that claim. You just want them to provide some evidence to corroborate it?

"Not having any evidence to corroborate" is logical reason enough not to make a claim.

But that is a different route. Claim that they don't have evidence. Or refute that the relationship is truly bad. This line was specifically "You can't make the claim that Samsung is then being screwed over by Google." Sure you can. Just provide evidence.

So, change that refutation to "what is your evidence taht they are getting screwed over by Google?" On that, you have my complete agreement.
