Yeah, when an appellate court goes out of its way to say, "No, we don't have to talk about this topic, but we're going to anyway," you can be pretty sure that the court was a bit taken aback by whatever they're going to talk about. My guess is that the trial judge had a bit of a patience problem by that point, but that's only a guess.
