We called Larry Kaufman as a witness, and Larry's job was to
explain to the jury what ratings were and how MHz affected ratings.
Larry has always been pretty good at using plain English to explain
complicated issues. Even my parents could understand what he was
saying. Fidelity had no idea that we knew that the machines at the
tournament were running at 8 MHz.
