But wait...now stay with me for a minute. What happens if they come back to the table and they are still insisting on the 65/35 deal? Should we, as logical people, ask ourselves why they are so insistent on having this in the LOA? Why on earth would they risk having the next LOA voted down for something they have no intent to use?
