There's a lot of stupidity in the patent process, but it isn't anything I've 
ever seen talked about *here*.  People just don't understand the patent 
process, and think that legal terms like "obvious" have some relationship to 
what they mean in English, or that you can look at a patent filing and tell 
exactly what's covered by it without looking at the prosecution of the patent.
