WFA's, the Hall of Fame... These are groups and individuals with a good read on the pulse of the FIRST community. Asking them would have made it pretty easy to figure out how the broader group would feel about something before signing a contract.

I would really like to think you are wrong. I'm pretty new around here, and I would like to be positive about things.
I guess I would just like to see some evidence that they understood the down side of their decision, and they just felt that the positives outweigh the negatives. As it is, it seems like they didn't even realize there was any significant negative, and if you are right about their decision making process, the reason they didn't understand would be that they didn't think it was worth the effort to find out. I wonder if they understand a post like Rachel's post above.
