Observation of settlement reports in the press.  Reading the settlement 
reports filed with the court in interesting cases.

If you don't like "typical", I'll change my claim: it's not unusual for 
neither party to publicly talk about the settlement amount.

I drew no such conclusion.  The only conclusion drawing has been from 
you--you've concluded that because you don't know the details, it must 
have been a tiny settlement.
