No. If your arguing that a patch doesn't work around a patent then essentially your admiting that you've read the implimentation and that you know your currently violating it.

That's the only way that a judge is going to interpret that.

It's just logical. How is somebody going to 'poke holes' in a patent-workaround when they don't even know the patent itself?
