That's how the defendant won in the Leegin case. Now will the Supreme Court buy this  in a case where there is not one supplier, but a group of suppliers acting in concert? Dunno. Possible, though.

 Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems in this instance, the defendants are saying; "No, we did 
not collude to fix prices. But in the event you decide that we 
did... just know that we did so for a good business reason."
