Well, Steve will do what he likes, and so of course can any of us. But I am not altering his words. I am in effect reposting it in my name with those alterations.   It would seem to me to be a very normal move for any politician to try to get into the postion where they get the credit if things go well, but avoid blame if they do not. And to me, that appears to be what Jacob is doing, and what Steve's post was getting at.
