poster was arguing that things should work differently than they do. for some reason it is common when people argue for change for them to get lectures about how things are. weird stuff.

The poster was arguing that, when a university/corporate partnership invents something, the law should ensure the university doesn't get screwed.

The responder was pointing out, in this case, the law could be infinitely strong in allocating credit to the university but it wouldn't help because this case was about whether they invented the thing at all.
