That's hardly extreme bias... sounds like normal, rational thinking to me. :)

It shows the extreme bias of not being a patent lawyer or another
immediate beneficiary from the protection racket :)

(not that I can think of any beneficiaries other than patent lawyers and
their relatives --- and not all of them: my cousin's a patent lawyer but I
still revile software patents.)

I'd already be happy if everyone did not issue trivial patents and/or the USPTO did a little more research before allowing stupid things to crawl in. But that's diverging from the topic now.
