I genuinely don't remember who's on it, so thanks for the data point. Regardless, my argument is they needn't act in total unanimity.
I presume this Mira person wasn't totally freelancing -- how would this even end up being presented to the board without some direction from someone on the board. So maybe more like 3.5 against 0.5. It could have been a total flip flop, but that's a bigger assumption. I have no problem not assuming grand narratives until the basic reporting shakes out.

She was the interim CEO; it seems that it was her and some of the rest of the executive team, not the board, that wanted Sam to come back. The board apparently was working on finding a new interim CEO to replace Mira that wasn't in Sam's camp more than it was trying to bring Sam back.

Thanks. So it seems like there were not even any individual flip-flops from the board (until Ilya Sutskever's more recent comments), so they were pretty "steadfast" after all.
