That’s fine. We would both interpret it differently. A lot of reasonable people would. That’s my point. It’s not that a thumbs up can’t mean approval, but that it just as well can mean acknowledgment.

And fortunately I'm allowed to disagree with and criticize that determination. Or is your position that courts never make mistakes?

Of course not. The point is we don’t have to care what you (or I) think.
