I wasn't as eloquent as you were, but you have a point: we were both advising caution. I was using high-fives as a metaphor, and you were using something else, but I see your point.

I don't remember suggesting we had low expectations because of this. But... tell you what: I won't disagree just for the sake of arguing. Those who want to go to sleep feeling all warm and fuzzy about all kinds of free raises are free to do so, and the rest of us will have to make do with with one eye open, their fingers crossed, and whatever needs puckering... puckered up.

That's about all the gross metaphors I can handle for a while.

Underboob, please. And a good night to all.
