Not all patent claims are defensible...

By that logic, nothing is indefensible. The fact is that the USPTO is
considered by the courts to be the de facto expert in innovation (as
amazing as this is).

Well, there's a defense for everything, true. Not all have the same
probability of succeeding, but was involved in a case years ago where a
similar overly-broad claim was tossed out while another specific claim
within the same was upheld. (It had to do with a basic physical
principle similar to this rather than the specific technology with which
the principle was manipulated. It was on a DOE Q-classified program so
don't think should say what, specifically (who knows what the spooks are
doing looking for old ex-Q-cleared fogies with loose lips? ).)
