I'd rather see us define our objective (hopefully that would be restoration of our profession) and then make sure every move we make is centered around that. A ship without a stated destination, wandering aimlessly, is not likely to get us where we want to go.
There are always multiple moves for each situation just like in chess. You know that. It is better to scenario them out than to just fight on one issue without knowing the effects/consequences of it.

Everything but history is an opinion. Common now, we all know that.
