How would you force the judge to do that? Has this strategy ever worked for anyone you can cite? Have you tried it yourself?

Otherwise, I'm not sure why just being able to imagine a knock out David vs. Goliath win against Google has any value whatsoever as a viable legal strategy.

It's certainly valid and it has been done in other situations, but the details are different. I don't know that of any case where it's been tried against Google. It's certainly reasonable to think it could work against Google, but the details of would it actually work in the real world? I have no idea. Even if there was precedent that someone could cite, that doesn't mean that your case would win.

If you really want to know, you need to consult a lawyer, not ask here.

"How would you force the judge to do that?"

You read my wording wrong - you wouldn't force the judge, the judge forces Google.
