You're confusing objective with strategy. When you get that figured out, you might want to try a different analogy.

It's not an analogy, it's an example of the sunk cost fallacy. You know, the same fallacy which you used to determine what you think our negotiating objective should be. You still haven't explained why you think "restoration" is sound economic decision making.
You'll have to forgive my assumption that "restoration" is your strategy. You haven't offered any other plan or even what you think our leverage is. Do you think stating the objective of "restoration" provides leverage? How?
When you write about restoration this is what I think of...
1. Restoration!
2. ??
3. Profit!
