> Sorry, we've wronged too many people to be held accountable! What a wild argument.

Class actions, as an alternative to the normal direct action lawsuits, are an accommodation in the legal system for economy of justice; a class that is too diverse in how they are situated with respect to the issues raised (which is a more accurate summary than the article’s “too large” for Amazon’s argument) negate that function.

I’m not saying the court ruled incorrectly on Amazon’s argument, just that the article is misleading on what the argument actually is.
