In my interpretation, to be considered a line in any number of dimensions, it must be specified by no fewer than two points. This puts a lower bound on the amount of information to specify "lines", a bound strictly greater than specifying a "point" in a space of similar dimensions. Otherwise, is point also a polygon consisting entirely of zero-length sides?
But anyway, I think it was only meant to highlight the Judge's opinion of the absurdity of some claims.
edit: so glad this tiny portion was the subject of the most discussion
