I think the OP doesn't mean it's idiotic for Google to respect a user's wish not be tracked. I believe he's referring to lawyers not understanding separation of browser and web services.

I was really hoping this would be a lawsuit about Google collection of information period, rather than a quibble like this. Please too remember that Boies etc are the same scumbags (and that's the correct term) who defended Theranos, harassing those who informed the government.
