IANAL but the convention in law seems to be to come out of the gate as aggressively as possible, making an initial land grab for every kind of remote, loose, or tenuous allegation, and see what survives. I guess lawyers expect to get push back, so they overreach out of the gate to give something to quibble over and protect the real basis of their claim.
