I like the optimism! The problem I see is ego and career investment. Organizations don’t act rationally. Key players have invested time and emotion into these negotiations. Others who may be aspiring to higher stations are convinced their promotions or bonuses are contingent on the results of negotiations. While the realities are obvious, only present crises get an organization to change direction. This is one of those situations where I think I’m right, but I hope I am wrong. I really do hope I’m wrong.

As an aside there are interesting parallels in history and warfare which are good for a nerdy discussion over scotch and steaks sometime.
