One major flaw with the logic of you statement is the FACT that DM may want to "Settle" and be happy with 1/10 of "X", (which is whatever the number is that you find insufficient), BUT EDIG DOES NOT HAVE TO TAKE IT...

DM works for EDIG, not the other way around...

If DM has a settlement offer for $500 million and recommends EDIG take it, EDIG can say NO, and under the terms of RETAINER DM can leave and bill EDIG hourly for the work done to date of their departure. CAPEESH!?...

So, it is "NO NSENSE" to admit to the fact that DM taking EDIG case as they did, and under the trems they did, is the singular most important fact that has happened in the life span of this company since you have been around...

Ask LL if you have doubts, and I dare you to mention any other fact that can be deemed more significant!?...
