re: #497 Cato

It is nearly impossible to have reversal rates that high. Remember, generally good attorneys write appellate court briefs and using the reasoning of either gives a colorable claim to the position. I do not mean this to sound like all results are equal, just that the plausibility of an argument narrows the likely results.

Hot Air claimed 4 known reversals in 11 years and commented that was in fact a low rate, but others may turn up.
