It shows no such thing. If anything it shows how ridiculously broken the USA 
patent system is.

Patents like US 5946647 (given in 1999) are something any minimally 
competent IT graduate student can come up with and it had plenty of prior 
art at the time. This patent is ridiculous trivial and there is nothing even 
remotely inventive in it. Given a patent for such a thing is ridiculous. 
Awarding millions of USD for such a thing goes way beyond ridiculous.
