"I think BE is strategizing that if the product sucks he can say ???see I told you so??? and appear to be on the fans??? side and it will be ???now maybe you???ll listen to me more next time???, and if the product is a success and ratings climb, he???ll take credit for it by saying he resisted some of the changes but settled for compromises that in the end combined and made the product a success." . . .
