That makes sense, too.

 

So I asked JP. He's completely of the second view.

 

I remain conflicted.

 

 

 

 

No right or wrong here I guess. One way to look at it would be:

 

If you expect your kid's coaches down the line to burn their ships for your kid, then you can burn yours too. If you expect your kid's coaches down the line will have a Plan B for your kid, then maybe you should too.
