     The implication seems to be that it wouldn't have mattered if

I think the point is that if Lotus hadn't won the lawsuit, anything it
did would have been moot and a boycott wouldn't be necessary.  You
don't have to boycott all bad guys, only those bad guys that are in a
position to practice their badness.
