And not all people are looking to sue at the drop of a hat. And not all lawyers are looking to make a quick, dishonest buck. Sometimes there is legitimate fault that the court systems have been designed to address.

The "funny email" circuit would have the distinction made based on the comedy value of the scenario. Is that a valid legal distinction, or just a quick pat-on-the-back for our confirmation bias?

You never see a "funny email" about the majority of legitimate, albeit not as entertaining, court cases.
