the expansion committees themselves were wrong.
nobody knew what was really going to happen. the informants here posted what they were told... the problem was that it was often posted as 'the gospel' rather than more properly posted as 'one permutation'.
if the president of texas was my dad and i posted all that he told me i'm sure i would have been discredited.
my point is that nobody knew. we had several parts, but nobody really knew what was going on.
blue obviously has a close source however.
