Because he's laying it on pretty thick

IDX Systems Corporation v. Epic Systems Corporation, 285 F.3d 581 (7th 2002).

"According to IDX, "a 43 pages description of the methods and processes underlying and the inter-relationships among various features making up IDX's software package" is specific enough. No, it isn't....

Other details, such as the algorithms that the software usese to do real-time erro checking (a vaunted feature of IDX's software), may be genuine trade secrets, but IDX has not tired to separate them from elements such as its input and output formats."
