Ty, you must be very good in court. My guess is that you paint your opponent's argument as extreme as possible without risking sanctions, and then when your opponent says "Your honor my position is actually not that extreme" you claim victory.
Did they pick the date? Of course not. But did they believe that the build up would likely have a collapsing effect? Absolutely. Go read Reagan's handwritten writings from the 60, 70s and 80s. It's there in black and white.
You people are the only ones that didn't see it coming.
