Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations

So I'm playing Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations for the Nintendo DS and I get to a part where I'm stuck.

Very stuck.

Stuck as in, for the past month or so, I haven't been able to get past a part in the trail. It's a comical part -- an old man on the stand and all you have to do is prove that his memory is full of holes, like swiss cheese. Should be trivial, yes?

No.

So I am loathe to do it, but I do it, and I do an FAQ on the game, for that level, and I read:

VICTOR KUDO'S SECOND TESTIMONY: ABOUT THE VICTIM
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-He was another of those pesky young types, wearing a broken pair of
spectacles.

-He had a newspaper in his right hand, and the noisy brat kept rustling
its pages!

-The young man was listening to the wireless. I remember that well.

-Then the serving girl in question brought over the javaccino.

-The little fidget picked up the cup with his free hand and took a sip.

If he was holding the newspaper in his right hand, then his free hand
would be his left hand. Take a look at the Coffee Cup. The handle is
pointing out to the right: that means that he drank from the cup using
his right hand, not his left hand. Present the Coffee Cup against Kudo's
last statement, the one about the free hand. Kudo will start causing a
fuss and wants to testify, and Godot allows it. Kudo will now start
again.

WTF. The coffee cup? You can't imply what hand the person used to pick up the cup by the coffee cup itself. It makes no difference whatsoever.

HOWEVER, what does make LOGICAL sense is what I kept trying to present an objection with, which is the answer to the NEXT part of the trial:

VICTOR KUDO'S THIRD TESTIMONY: LEFT HAND OR RIGHT HAND
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-The boy was wearing his earpiece on the same side as the green lens of
his specs.

-He kept fiddling with it all the time.

-He was fiddling with it just before he picked up the cup, too.

-And then he used the same hand to pick up the cup. His left hand!

Kudo's really insistent, isn't he? Time for him to crash and burn.
Present the prescription bag against Kudo's last statement, the one
about his left hand. Wasn't the victim deaf in that ear? Kudo goes
ballistic and starts singing the pidgeon song! Kudo wants to testify one
more time and, again, Godot allows it. Time to face the music.

Very good. He wouldn't be listening to the radio because he was deaf in the ear that the radio ear piece would've been in. Not by some half-baked "the coffee cup handle is on the right side so he picked it up by the right side" bull.

What fantastically terrible game design there. I'm really displeased with that. I must say, this has been the only time something so trite like that has happened so...

... it could be worse. I guess. It could be Assassin's Creed which has little to nothing to do with assassination so much as flamboyant sword play.
