>Looking at the prosecution history on the USPTO's PAIR, the patent was granted on the first try

Are you looking at the proper case number, because this application (20100199180 or 12/756,574) says it has not even been looked at yet: "Status: Docketed New Case - Ready for Examination"




You're absolutely correct. It hasn't been examined yet, though the application has been published.
