Great analysis, as always. I've got into the habit of trying to figure these matters out for myself, and then reading what the reality might be. I did OK on this particular one!
Is it possible that, despite the information in the public domain, there could be settlement negotiations in the background hidden from public view? And the Duke would be well advised to include a non disclosure clause in the settlement. It’s reasonable to presume all that is in progress, because we all know that it’s cheaper to settle, and the risk of fighting and losing is substantial, despite the truth. If it’s not in progress, then something could be amiss.
