Why not just leave it at no? Because we've said no, in a few different forms, and you're unsatisfied with that answer.
I don't know who you've asked, which is why I asked if you had asked any of those knowledgeable people. You said they're missing in action. My question was intended to challenge that statement. If you have asked them, they're obviously not missing in action. And if you haven't, then perhaps you should.
Which part feels the need to answer? My curiosity. We can't currently provide you with an answer, as Andy said, we're inside the fishbowl. But we want to know what's going on in the room just as much as you do, so our answers are not only answers to you, but answers to ourselves. And they're just as much questions as they are answers.
Stories are all that we have, and some people believe the stories more strongly than others. It's up to you to decide your level of belief. No-one else can decide that for you.
So you can continue to ask your question, but only you can answer it in a way that you'll be happy with.
