How about this, from the final instructions to the jury in the case:

"[Oracle's] technical expert Dr. Mitchell ... opined that rangeCheck, at 
least, appeared on handsets, id. ¶ 240, though he never expressed any opinion 
that it was important to handset functionality. The closest he came to 
expressing any opinion that rangeCheck has any value were his opinions that 
(1) rangeCheck was “qualitatively significant to” the Arrays.java file, ..."

The only reason you had "yet to see any proof from the court case that this is 
actually from java.util.Arrays" is that you hadn't looked.

Did you notice the 'private' keyword? Did you not think that relevant to 
whether it's a private method?
