Geez, only claim D even makes conceptual sense to try in court.

This suit is an awful idea.

While you may only be able to win on one count, you get discovery for all of them. The idea is good, if your goal is to legally investigate.

Even if the court decides that you haven't stated a justiciable claim?

You gotta speak in the language that corporations understand. Lawsuits and regulations...

Filing a nuisance lawsuit is certainly something people understand, but the only result you're going to get is that you get laughed out of court while everyone learns you're an idiot.

There's a difference between (1) trying to speak to someone in a language they understand, and (2) imagining what you think that would be like, doing that without reference to whether it makes any sense, and then congratulating yourself for your penetrating insight. You can't speak to someone in a language that they understand but you don't!
