In this, as in many other endeavors, the people bringing the ludicrous theories will not be the ones having to actually live with the results (ver se a lawyer, especially a wealthy one, doing his own lawn?), so what do they care what happens AFTER the suit? All that matters is that they get their pay-day.

I would like to know if the lawyers have promised to place a portion of their fees into a company that will design, build and market such a mower. I mow going forward and in reverse, do they want to make it impossible to do so?

I just bought a John Deere lawn tractor that has an annoying feature: a dashboard button must be held down while the tractor is put in reverse, else the engine is shut off. Guess I can look forward to many more engineered inconveniences in the future.
