I don’t find it funny. Monsanto had a huge team of high priced lawyers, and all the corrupt junk science they paid for, against this lone nobody and their case was so bad they /still/ lost.

That's still not scientific evidence though. The legal process operates on entirely different principles. A jury is not peer review, and the lawyers get to choose which facts to reveal and which might cause PR nightmares and are best left out.
