Oh, is that to compare with the fallacy you have of the company negotiating more and improving the TA? His "fallacy" has a lot more likelyhood of coming true than your "fallacy" does. If the TA is turned down, don't you think it would be in the company's best in to proceed with their plan B? Here's why, if they agree to better terms if this TA is turned down they are opening themselves up to all future TA's being turned down because "they will always come back and negotiate a little bit better deal." This has far more ranging consequences for management than they might want to deal with...
I just thought the better of it and edited out a cheapshot because it's just not worth it. Try and debate the subject, not harangue and insult people. You've lost the debate when that happens.
