> I would guess that "rich company spamming bogus notices" is far and away the most frequent case, followed maybe by "rich company filing legitimate notices" followed in the far distance by "small fry filing a legitimate notice."

You are guessing wrong.

"I think it's X with no evidence"

"I think it's Y with no evidence"

"Woah woah there, how dare you disagree with the groupthink, are you prepared to cite some sources?"

Why does X but not Y get to be presumed true until proven otherwise? Because we really want X to be true okayy.

"I guess X"

"You are guessing wrong"
