If it makes you happy... The BU's "view" was that R2 did not leave early. Everybody else's "view" was that R2 left early. The ONLY view that mattered was the BU's. That was my point 5 years ago and I was just curious if that's still true in this "Get it right" era that we appear to be in.

Matthew - you ARE completely missing the point.
We aren't saying "BU's bad call is the only view that mattered." We're saying that BU was in the right position to make the call, and in a better position than ANYBODY ELSE. We're not saying his call was right because it was his call to make. We're saying that in all likelihood, his call was right because it WAS RIGHT, and everyone else's was wrong.
Even if you "saw" something different, you were not in position to see it better than BU. BU was. THE POINT is that just because you saw it differently from him doesn't make your call "more right" than his, and in all likelihood, his call was right, and yours was wrong.
