It doesn't matter whether you like the system or not. It is the system, and you will be punished for not following it. In this case, by an opportunity cost of 5 billion dollars and several years. If you think you can change the system, try it and see what happens.

I'm good, thanks. the 5 billion can just stay with whoever wants them. It is this madness of "opportunity cost" that is ruining us, the idea that this is a game and optimal "play" for a single piece is desirable.
