Is idiocy a defence to perjury? If one assumes good faith one is left 
with the conclusion that he did not have enough lights on to look and 
see the address.

In any event, the action is against Homeland Security, and WMF is 
specifically excluded as a defendant.  I think that it is reasonable to 
speculate the Homeland Security (and other departments like the FBI) has 
considerable experience in dealing with such extraterrestrials.
