Reassuring coming from someone with such a warped perception as yours.

So you have no clue about the term "nominal damages".  Look it up then.
Nominal charges are _exactly_ used when a party would have the right to
claim _actual_ damages rather than _contractual_ damages.

So again, you are quoting something that flatly says the opposite of
what you intend to show, and hopping with glee in the process.

Talk about "truly retarded".
