Sorry, that was my "we" intended to designate that the FRC community, even within the dissenters, has not reached a consensus plan. I wasn't attempting to quote you out of context or invoke your definition.

Knowing what one is able to do does not lead directly to making the correct choice. Having a decision within one's discretion does not mean that one is the best qualified to unilaterally decide it. We all understand that this decision is
made; that does not mean that it is
good.
There are two different goals for this Town Hall (or as a general response to "we're listening"). One is to figure out how to work within the framework HQ created with these contracts. The other is to express dissatisfaction at HQ's process and/or decision. The latter aim is not simply to complain; it's to elucidate the "cost" side of the cost-benefit to HQ of them ever doing something like this again. And, quite frankly, the cost they've already accrued in doing so.
