Similarly, the abuse of legal terminology, and trying to thus command the court to drop the case or otherwise submit to the sovcit's will, that's classic "cargo-cult" behavior. They, or their teachers, have seen how important precision and exact phrasing are to the legal system: At each step of a case, there are specific requirements made of cops, lawyers, judges, and other participants; a case can be thrown out, or a defense can collapse, because the paperwork is incorrect, or a lawyer invoked the wrong law, or any number of other technical errors.
Now, the sovcit thing is all about denying the special authority of the courts, attempting to claim that they are merely citizens operating with no more privilege than any other citizen (such as the current defendant). So the sovcit tries to imitate the apparent forms of the law, announcing his demands in the same manner as the actual officials, and when they were refused, declaring that the courts have failed to bind him. Never mind the fact that the sovcit does not in fact have the authority, position, or legal backing to make any such demands, nor to dismiss the actions of genuine legal officials..
