They want relief NOW to do the ultra long haul stuff. They came to us. Swing for the damn fence. No agreement in three weeks? Fine. See you in Sect 6 when we still have what you want.
It's not that we can't grasp the concept, it's simply that we don't agree with how much you value our leverage. I don't see this as the holy grail of leverage, and think we extracted a nice premium for it. You disagree. Fair enough.
