Good analysis but you might as well find the nearest available wall and have a pleasant in-depth conversation with it.
The ‘purists’ are like all true believers. Un-amenable to what commonly passes for ‘reason’ amongst the ‘heretics’. In fact, ‘losing’ is seemingly a badge of courage for them. They are just too darn ‘good’ to win. So they will lose and wait expectantly for a desperate Nation to come knocking at their holy doors.
As you point out —- It’s always a VERY VERY VERY long wait.
Maybe they can shout out a big HI to Vladimir and Estragon on the road. I assume that they are still waiting patiently as well.
