> That's a perfectly reasonable take especially on the federal/state separation which was novel, but is it really not possible there was some back-rationalisation going on?

Sorry, I'm pointing out that you and the other commenter are both just speculating: "but is it really not possible that...?"

I don't really understand what argument you're trying to make.
