 Part of the theory is: don't concede anything in public until there's a deal. If there's no deal people will attack the concession and there's nothing to show for it. In the context of a deal, one can say, ok, you didn't like this concession, but here's what
 we got in exchange. And there was no way to get that without making that concession. And besides, it's a done deal, it's a fait accompli, so complain all ya want, the show is over, this is done and we're moving on to the next thing. <u></u><u></u></p>
