I was responding with a a bit of serious legal advice (caution, IANAL, just happened to pick up bits and pieces over the years) and you toss a ridiculous straw man argument back at me.
If Darl McBride came to your house and held a gun to your head, then giving him a cheque would not constitute an admission of anything, because you feared for your life (vis a vis a threat to your physical safety). However, if Darl sent you a normal invoice, even one with a mildly threatening (in a business/law sense) tone, and you sent him a cheque, then in *some* jurisdictions a judge *might* see that as an admission that you owe SCO money.
