As a lawyer, I resemble that remark. That said, this is typical court document/throw the kitchen sink in stuff. A defence starts with a denial that anything even happens and then proceeds to a number of excuses or explanations why the defendant is not at fault. By the time the matter actually gets heard (if it doesn't get settled) only the real arguments are actually argued.
Unfortunately, the requirements of a statement of defence means that you can't or shouldn't make admissions of liability or give up on a legal position at such an early stage.
